WhatWood analytic dep’t: Wood prices and inventories in Russia in April were stable

For most logging companies in Russia, April was an inter-seasonal month, with winter harvesting finished and shipping season and summer harvesting yet to begin. During the inter-season this year, roundwood sales are hindered with regulation #47 of the Road Agency on temporary limitation of heavy truck traffic on federal roads.

However, processing mills did not feel lack of raw wood stocks, most of them accumulated inventories after fruitful harvesting season in winter. Wood prices in April also did not have considerable changes, almost all changes compared to March level were negligible.
