Abstract

In 1988, the average price per cord of Midsouth roundwood pulpwood was $49.21, an increase of approximately 4 percent since 1987. The average price per green ton of chipped residues fell 3 percent to $20.99. The total expenditure by Midsouth pulpmills for pulpwood increased about one-half percent to $1,569 million in 1988. However, the real prices, in terms of 1979 dollars, for all categories fell between 1979 and 1988. Only hardwood roundwood experienced an increase in real prices from 1987 to 1988.
