In March, roundwood prices in Estonia have registered some disparate developments. Large sawlogs price shows a slight upward trend, while the small diameter range (under 18 cm diameter) has yielded compared to February: spruce only minimal, but pine more significant.

Birch and poplar have also registered a price decline. Birch veneer, however, is slightly more expensive.

Among pulpwood assortments there are some different price movements: pine and poplar pulpwood have trended upward; spruce and birch price decreased.
