Abstract
The purpose of this report is to explore the Chinese and Indian markets for wood products as well as investment and sales opportunity for Canadian forest product manufacturers.This report presents information relevant to major Canadian producers of softwood lumber and other wood products, desiring to enter one of these markets.The information includes a summary of market structure, distribution channels and the influences of government policies on logging, production, consumption, and import and export of wood products.In examining the forest industry in China and India, we have looked into both academic and trade publications.We have also consulted books that are recently published for basic information and conducted interviews with Canadian forest product manufacturers.Internet websites are useful resources to find up-to-date statistics.There's very little official or reliable data on wood consumption in China and India.Data provided in this report is from a variety of sources and it was very often incomplete and inconsistent.China and Indian markets provide huge potential markets for Canadian forest product manufacturers.Developing a new market is a long-term process, especially the market like China and India where the cultural and business environment is completely different from North America.Building up closer relationship with local customers by having representative, inventory or manufacturing facilities in China to enhance the cultural understanding, to introduce Canadian wood products, to monitor the delivery performance and market changes, is more than just exporting and transportation.Although import of wood products will continue to in-crease in the short and medium term, investment should be a strategy for firms to achieve long term success in these two markets.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
