Same for the UK. Nothing is boarded up here. I read the article thinking "How to I invest in American plywood manufacturers if there's a second wave?"



Assuming there are any domestic manufacturers of plywood left.

According to this first-hit google result, in 2017 82% of world plywood production was in Asia

This is extremely out of touch with the state of industry. US produces 10 times as much plywood as it imports. This should be apparent to anyone who's ever actually bought plywood: if you go to your local Home Depot, you'll see the manufacturer information stamped on the edge of the stack. It's almost always US company.


Thanks for this information! I don't live in the US myself.
