"No end in sight for rising timber prices"
“No end in sight for rising timber prices" Timber prices have more than doubled in recent months. It's also not clear when those prices will stabilize. It's not only wood prices that are skyrocketing. So are those for metal, oil, and oil products like plastic. "These days, we deal with daily prices," begins Robert Helder. He's from Hoekman Houtindustrie, in the Netherlands. "Timber prices used to remain stable throughout the year. We could conclude contracts for longer periods. Nowadays, if I send out a quotation, you must accept it within a week or else the sales price has to be adjusted."
