How to improve the marketing of timber in France?
Large forest estates actively participate in the marketing of timber in France. However, the marketing of wood from private and public large forest estates (over 25Â ha) could be improved by better managing price risk in multiannual supply contracts of the timber industry: creation of compensation funds for forest owners or calls to financial markets linked to processed timber products for industrialists. But, the development of supply contracts does not mean that private or public auction procedures should be abandoned. Similarly, by supplementing "forest area development schemes", it would be possible to increase the mobilisation of timber produced on small (1 to 10Â ha) and medium (10 to 25Â ha) forest estates: more forestry cooperatives or local forest agencies and a new timber pre-sale mode adapted to small forest estates are necessary (sales subject to the buyer's choice of purchasing standing timber or cut wood delivered to a depot by the seller).
