In August, price changes were observed in packaging-grade wood assortiments

Roundwood prices in Latvia remained largely stable across most assortments.

Softwood sawlog prices showed no major fluctuations, while softwood packaging grade log prices recorded a increase amid steady export demand and lower availability. Softwood pulpwood prices held firm on low levels, reflecting balanced supply and demand levels. Birch sawlog and plywood log prices remained unchanged, indicating a steady market with no significant short-term shifts.

Energywood chips saw a modest price rise during the month, supported by stable demand from wood pellet producers. Firewood prices likewise showed a slight upward movement.

Overall, August was characterized by price stability, with only minor adjustments in energywood and packaging-grade assortments.
