Forestry

Forests are becoming more and more of a strategic asset. After years of decline, prices for pulp wood are on the rise again due in part to the increasing demand from the growth markets in Asia, and more specifically to the biomass boom. Skyrocketing energy prices have led to an increasing attractiveness of energy from biomass. Government subsidies for biomass energy plants are boosting the allure. State forests, logging, transport and trading companies find themselves in a comfortable situation, but are also pressured to increase the efficiency of their supply chains.
