\n

Both sawlog and pulpwood prices in Sweden decreased during the 3Q 2019 for the first time since 2016, as the bark beetle infestation hit the country. On average, the sawlog price decreased by 5.5% (down to SEK 496\/m3 or EUR 46.26\/m3), while the pulpwood price decreased by 4.7 % compared to the 2Q 2019.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Damage to spruce forest is extensive following the spruce bark beetle outbreak over the past 12 months. This explains why spruce sawlogs prices have suffered the largest decreases.\u00a0<\/span>The results of a new inventory of land owned by\u00a0Sodra\u2019s\u00a0members show that 2.5 million m\u00b3 is infested in\u00a0members\u2019 estates, twice as much as last year. In G\u00f6taland as a whole, approximately 5 million m\u00b3 is estimated to be infested.<\/p>\n

A worst-case scenario from the Swedish Forest Agency estimates that it could ruin as much as 12.5 million cubic meters of wood this year, costing as much as 6 billion kronor ($625 million). That\u2019s equivalent to more than 15 percent of annual logging. In its baseline scenario, it sees damage on par with last year\u2019s 3 to 4 million cubic meters.<\/p>\n

The sawlog price started decreasing earlier in 2019 but the decline has intensified during the 3Q and was stronger in southern Sweden, where the bark beetle outbreak was more pronounced. The Southern region had a decrease of 8.5% while the sawlog price in the Central region decreased by 5.2%. In the Northern region the price instead increased slightly by 1%.<\/p>\n

During the first two quarters of 2019 the pulpwood price was either relatively unchanged or slightly increasing. This has changed and the price has started to decrease during the 3Q. The decline was strongest in the Central region, 6.7%. The Southern region saw a decrease of 2.6% while prices instead increased in the Northern region by 2.6%.<\/p>\n

In comparison to the 3Q 2018 the price on sawlog decreased by 7.4% nationally. Regionally, prices decreased by 9.3% in the Southern region, 9.7% in the Central region and 1.1% in the Northern region.<\/p>\n

The pulpwood price increased by 2.4% nationally. There are however large differences across the regions. In the Southern region the price increased marginally by 0.7%, in the Central region by 1.7% while the Northern region had a larger increase by 14.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
