\n

In the first quarter of this year, the price of wood in Latvia returned to the level of the summer of 2021, when the prices of pine and spruce had already reached a historical high.<\/p>\n

In the first quarter, the price of softwood sawlogs increased by 21 euros per cubic meter compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.\u00a0Prices for birch wood are also rising, although the first quarter of the year is not its season.\u00a0The sharp rise is closely linked to the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the\u00a0forest auction system in Latvia \"E-silva\".\u00a0inform that despite the fact that the purchase prices of roundwood in the second half of the first quarter were lower than the actual value of the felling, the wood was sold at the forecast price, which is the advantage for forest owners in Latvia.\u00a0E-silva experts conclude that the actions of timber producers and processors indicate that a fall in prices is not expected at present, but it is too early to make any predictions, given the geopolitical situation and its unpredictability.<\/p>\n

The return of softwood roundwood prices to the level of summer 2021 and the increase in the first quarter of 2022 is mainly due to the increase in the price of pulpwood and firewood.\u00a0As a result, the price of a thin spruce and pine sawlogs rose.\u00a0The rise in roundwood prices was also linked to sanctions against Russia and Belarus, the decision of the European Union (EU) and other countries to stop buying wood products from Russia and Belarus.\u00a0Belarus and Russia have long been important suppliers of wood products throughout Europe.<\/p>\n

Although the softwood thick sawlogs had not reached the price of the beginning of last summer, it was compensated by the prices of small logs, pulpwood and firewood, which were higher than the prices in the beginning of summer 2021.\u00a0The average price for softwood logs was therefore almost the same as at the highest point last year, according to E-silva.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this year, a significant increase in prices was observed in the segment of thin sawlogs - the price of thin pine sawlogs reached 68 euros per cubic meter, which was 31% more than at the end of 2021, but the price of thin spruce sawlogs was almost 67 euros per cubic meter, 22% more.<\/p>\n

In March of this year, compared to February, the prices of both spruce and pine assortments increased.\u00a0The price of thick pine sawlogs increased from 111 euros per cubic meter to 124 euros per cubic meter, which was an increase of almost 11%.\u00a0The reason for this increase was the constant demand for wood products and the more difficult supply of wood raw materials due to the geopolitical situation, the representatives of the auction system explain.<\/p>\n

\"E-silva\" notes that in the first quarter of the year the price of birch veneer logs rose sharply to 123 euros per cubic meter in the territory of Latvia.\u00a0Also, comparing March of this year with February, the price of birch veneer logs increased, which is very atypical for the spring months.\u00a0The transportation of birch wood is more convenient in the cold season of the year.\u00a0The reason for this increase was both the war in Ukraine and the related sanctions against aggressive countries, as well as internal forecasts of rising timber prices in the near future.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the year, the price of birch pulpwood continued to rise and by the end of March had already risen to 68 euros per cubic meter, which is an increase of 17% compared to the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
