    The prices of pulpwood and firewood changed

    Energy wood prices are experiencing a drop in November, however, as the colder winter months in Latvia approach, the demand may increase for a while under the influence of the average air temperature. Softwood and birch pulpwood, like energy wood, will tumble and decline before the price stabilizes. Similarly, the prices of softwood saw logs also decreased in November, which directly depends on the demand.

    Changes in the energy wood prices

    As a result of the overproduction of energy wood, wood prices in Latvia experienced a slight and most likely, temporary price drop at the beginning of November. On the other hand, in October the average price of pulpwood decreased by 2%. The price drop also continued in the segment of thick and medium softwood saw logs, which is mainly related to the decrease in the volume of production of construction products, which according to the data of the Central Statistics Office has fallen by 12.5% in the last nine months in Latvia.

    The volumes of energy wood increases

    In September, despite the drop in demand the price of softwood sawlogs in Latvia remains almost unchanged. Due to the suspension of supplies from Russia and Belarus, the shortage of sawlogs is greater and keeps the price unchanged. Meanwhile energy wood and especially firewood is becoming more and more in demand.

    Pulpwood price records and market fluctuations
