How is the price of wood determined?
The price of wood depends on many factors, including:
- Tree species
- Tree sturdiness
- Location
- Harvested volume
- Harvesting method and load-bearing capacity of the soil
- Transport distance in the forest, that is, the distance from the forest to the roadside
- Transport distance from the roadside storage to the mill
- Market situation for wood products
Wood grades
- Sturdy trees and parts of the trunk are used to make logs.
- Small logs are thinner than regular logs.
- Pulpwood is obtained from thinner trees and the tops of trees used as logs.
In wood trade, a separate price is agreed for each wood grade and tree species.
