Direct Value Adding by Appropriate Product Classification
by Ken Matthews Private Forestry Southern Queensland 2007.
The ‘A’ grade sawlog is the backbone of the sawmilling industry and the sawlog has been and will continue to be a major resource need of this industry. In exploring comparative stumpage values the intention is not to diminish the important role of sawlog volume production, in fact, sawlogs play an essential role in supporting the demand of all other solid timber products, apart from fencing and to a lesser degree poles and girders.
The following Poster was shown at the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Foresters Conference held this year in Coffs Harbour
This gives a good overview of the “Value Hierarchy” involved in stumpage values.
