The second round of auctions for the current season has been concluded at Forest Depart Depots in Surat and Vyara. Around 12,000 cubic metres of good quality domestically grown teak and some non-teak hardwoods was on offer.

Despite prices for imported plantation teak easing auction prices were firm. Locally grown teak is always preferred by millers as the quality is higher, the sap is smaller, the form is good and the girths are larger all of which contribute to better recover rates in the mill.

Average prices recorded at the most recent auction were as follows:

Teak logs Per cubic foot
A quality for ship building Rs. 2900-3000
B quality for ship building Rs. 2800-2900
A for sawing Rs. 2700-2800
B for sawing Rs. 2600-2700
A Long length logs Rs. 2400-2500
B Long length logs  Rs. 1800-1900
A 15 ft.& longer Rs. 2200-2400
B 15 ft.& longer Rs. 1600-1700
Long length, Medium Quality Rs. 1400-1500
Short length, Medium Quality Rs. 1300-1400
Short Length, Thin logs Rs. 1100-1300

Variations are based on quality, length and average girth of logs

Good quality non-teak hardwood logs, 3 to 4 meters long having girths 91cms and up of haldu (Adina cordifolia), Laurel (Terminalia tomentosa), kalam (Mitragyna parviflora) and Pterocarpus marsupium fetched higher prices than in the previous auction in the range of Rs.800- 900.

Prices for medium quality logs were in the range of Rs.300-400 per c.ft. The next round of auctions will be held in the North and South Dangs Divisions and the indications are that a large volume of logs will be available.
