LOG SALES

City Forests supplies prepared sawlogs to both local (approximately 50%) and export (approximately 50%) markets, shipped from Dunedin’s deep water port at Port Chalmers. The port is operated by Port Otago Limited. POL LINK

Pulp wood is generally sold to a New Zealand medium density fibreboard (MDF) manufacturer or exported.

The company also sells logs to a number of sawmills throughout the lower South Island.

The price of logs varies according to international prices. The best source of up-to-date log prices is on the New Zealand Government’s Ministry of Primary Industries website. MPI LINK
