Sawlog prices rising sharply in many parts of the world
Global sawlog prices are on an upward trend as lumber consumption has surged in many parts of the world. The Global Sawlog Price Index rose 8% in the 4Q/20 as demand for logs was up in North America and Europe. Both of the sawlog price indices (Global and European) jumped 8% q-o-q in the 4Q/20 as log prices increased worldwide.
