Sweden's Södra hiked timber prices from August 21st

Posted on August 26, 2024   |  

Södra, Sweden’s largest forest owners' association, will increase prices on several timber products starting August 21 to meet high demand and boost family forestry profits.

The price hike covers products like timber, small sawn assortments, softwood and hardwood pulpwood, fuelwood, and grot.

These price changes are meant to encourage forestry practices like felling, thinning, and conservation.

The global timber market remains unpredictable, with conditions that can shift quickly.

Despite the uncertainty, Södra expects strong demand for forest raw materials to continue in the long term.

The price increases are part of Södra’s effort to support and encourage active forest management by family forest owners.
