India's exports of wood products remained resilient in fiscal 2012-13 despite the global recession. Figures from Indian Customs show that wood product exports rose 26% in terms of rupee and 11% in US dollar terms.

Exporters report that overseas demand remains steady and this suggests the specific markets serviced by Indian exporters have been less affected by the recent economic downturn.
