The price of the wood has continued to grow in the last period of time. This way, the tax for the export of the wood to the United States had also increased.
The professor and specialist in the field, from Laval University, Luc Bouthillier told that, if the price of the wood reaches the amount of 355$ for 1000pmp, we will see the recovery of the companies. “The market is getting better, the price is getting better a little, but all these are getting better relatively calm”, he is explaining. It has been told that the European market is constituting the strongest point. Here, we are expecting an explosion of demands for wood, which is gaining more and more field thanks to their qualities regarding the environment. However, the professor added that the European market is a difficult market. “Indeed, it is a market in progress, but the Finland, Swedish industries, even the Austrian and German industries are considering that Europe is theirs.
Some companies from Quebec have limited entries on this market. The professor recalls that the wood from Quebec has its advantages. One of them is that of being spared of the pin dendroctone, one parasite that produces damaged in the forests from the west of the American continent.
