It looks like weather conditions are on our side to harvest forests this winter. An element that producers should know is the softwood pulpwood market (4 foot). Kruger have asked to UPA and marketing officers to lower the price of this product, so, the deliveries for this winter will be limited. Consequently, you must have a quota valid for this winter. It is very important to place your wood in an area accessible at any time of the year because it may be trucked as far as early summer.

Concerning Domtar deliveries are good and we think that it will be the same for the rest of the season. We recommend to place your wood in a proper area that won’t bother you if the delivery is made after the thaw.

Sawlogs market are active with a small raise in prices. We are recommending you to check the price before delivery.
