[Feb 12, 2025]




The leading assortment of spruce grade B, Media 2b+ is currently achieving prices  of 106 - 110  euros per cubic metre (net, free road).

The locations of the paper, pulp and board industry are well supplied with raw material. From today's perspective, however, there is a continuous supply. Prices are mainly between 76 and 80 euros per atro tonne.

At the hardwood auction in St. Florian, almost all of the 1,431 cubic metres of wood delivered was sold. The average revenue across all tree species was 658 euros (2024: 668 euros) per cubic metre. Oak, which accounted for two thirds of the timber sold, achieved an average price of 847 euros per cubic metre, an increase of ten per cent compared to the previous year. The highest bid for oak this year was 2,189 euros per cubic metre, which is also the highest bid for this year's hardwood auction. 149 logs achieved bids of more than 1,000 euros per cubic metre, including 136 oaks. As hardwood has to be felled outside the sap season and the season is gradually coming to an end, it is recommended that the hardwood harvest is completed quickly.
