Compared to last January, the value of roundwood purchased from Slovenian private owners decreased by 4.3%, according to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia.

Significantly lower were the values of wood fuel and other industrial pulpwood – both by almost two-thirds. The value of pulpwood also declined. On the other hand, the value of sawlogs and veneer logs increased. The 7.5% increase was influenced by the rise in the value of purchased coniferous wood, while the value of non-coniferous wood was lower.

Compared to December 2024, the total value of roundwood purchased from private owners was higher by a fifth. The increase was due to a higher value of purchased sawlogs and veneer logs. The purchase value of other assortments was lower.
