Factors Affecting Industrial Roundwood Prices

There are a number of factors that influence the price of industrial roundwood in Australia. The most important is the availability of timber, which is determined by a number of factors including the rate of tree growth, deforestation and logging restrictions. Other important factors include transport costs, fuel costs and demand from overseas markets.

The demand for wood products has been growing steadily in recent years, due to population growth and the development of new markets such as China. This has put pressure on the supply of timber, as forests are being harvested at an ever-increasing rate. In addition, the area of forest that is available for harvesting is decreasing due to land clearing for agriculture and urban development.

Type of wood is an important consideration when determining the industrial roundwood price in Australia. For example, hardwoods such as jarrah and oak are typically more expensive than softwoods such as pine. This is due to the fact that hardwoods are more difficult to source and process.
