Africa is the only region in which the area of certified forest declined (by 1.1 million ha, or 14%). Given that global roundwood production in 2013 was 1.7 billion m3 (FAOSTAT 2014), about 30% of the global production originated in certified forest in that year. The number of active chain-of-custody (CoC) certificates increased by 6% between May 2013 and May 2014 (FSC issued an additional 1,820 certificates in that period and PEFC an additional 328 certificates), bringing the total number of active CoC certificates worldwide to 37,838 (graph 2.4.4). This compares with an increase of 12% between May 2012 and May 2013.
