Timber Exchange Trade Overview – November 2020

In addition to short-term auctions, a half-year action was held in November and, after a break of more than two years, a long-term auction was held, and the State Forests Directorate offered a total of more than 1.2 million solid m³ of timber for sale at these two auctions. Both auctions can be viewed as successful and have received considerable buyer attention. A total of 252 participants took part in the half-year auction, and 121 participants participated in the long-term auction. 156 and 66 participants respectively succeeded in buying timber. Nearly all of the timber (98%) offered during the auctions was sold, meaning that only 14,000 solid m³ remains for the announced repeat auctions. The repeat auction timetables are available in the ETTS. READ MORE
