On June 18, Södra will lower its prices for lumber and pulpwood in response to market conditions.

As a result of Storms Johannes and Dave, the supply of forest raw materials has increased in Sweden. The supply of pine lumber has risen during the first part of the year, and demand is somewhat limited. At the same time, the price range for spruce sawlogs has widened in Götaland. The supply of fiber (pulpwood and sawmill chips) is expected to remain relatively stable, while the market price for fiber has fallen.

Against this backdrop, Södra is implementing price reductions on sawable pine and spruce assortments as well as pulpwood effective June 18. At the same time, a market premium for spruce lumber is being introduced in the southern parts of Södra’s operating area. Prices for fuel grades remain unchanged.

Overall, the price level for forest raw materials remains at a historically high level.

Price adjustments effective June 18:
Base price for sawable pine assortments:
standard pine lumber is reduced by 100 SEK/m³f

small-diameter pine lumber/cub is reduced by 50 SEK/m³f

Sawable spruce assortments
