Abstract

In 1989, the average delivered price for a cord of Midsouth roundwood was $49.92, an increase of less than 2 percent since 1988. The average delivered price for a green ton of chipped residues increased about 3 percent to $21.70. The total pulpwood expenditure for Midsouth pulpmills increased about 6 percent to $1,658.5 million in 1989. In terms of 1980 dollars, real prices for all types of pulpwood fell between 1980 and 1989. Real prices for both hardwood roundwood and hardwood chips increased from 1988 to 1989.
