\n

Rarely has a rise in wood prices been so sharp and brutal in France.\u00a0While oak prices took a hit in the back of the head in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, barely a year later, demand has picked up at a frantic pace.\u00a0The pandemic does not seem to be completely stopped yet,\u00a0but that does not prevent the French oak market from being very close to overheating.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The first autumn auctions, in particular those of Burgundy, leave no doubt about the current price increases.\u00a0The ONF (France's National Forest Office)\u00a0 auction in Ch\u00e2tenoy-le-Royal (Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire), on September 7, confirms the upward trends already observed before the summer.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As much in the fall of 2020, the troubled context forced the French sawyers to prudent supplies, as this year the fever reigns with the purchases.\u00a0Over one year, the price of oak logs has jumped by 40%!\u00a0In the memory of French industry professionals, this surge is unprecedented.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the auction, a buyer summarized the price list. \"It's quite simple,\" he says, \"2m3 timber is 200 euros, 3m3 timber is 300 euros and 4m3 is approaching 400 euros.''<\/p>\n

Another professional, specialized in logs and acting on international markets, confirms the very strong current activity. \"My selling prices, both in France and in China, are higher than in 2018.\" This broker mentions major readjustments in the process of stocks. \u201cSuccessive lockdowns in Asia, USA and Europe have disrupted the supply chain and the blockade of the Suez Canal has not helped. In addition, French sawyers resumed purchasing in the spring, confidence had returned as well as fear of Chinese competition. \"<\/p>\n

Other reasons also explain the oak price surge: the boost in the US and Chinese economies, protectionism measures (USA, Russia, certain tropical countries, etc.), less competition from eastern countries. A rebalancing of the markets is taking place, which should operate for the benefit of European oak in a global context of lack of material and general rise in prices.<\/p>\n

However, economic history shows that the markets do not like sudden price changes. Moreover, the current sharp drop in sawn softwood prices in the US could well be a sign of a return to more coherent trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
