Bavaria's forestry records a high demand for Oak logs. However, mainly from local sawmills. Demand from exporters is cautious. Conclusions with sawmills in Bavaria show a year on year price stability. Compared to the last year prices throughout Germany, there is slight price decline in diameter classes 5 and 6. Whether weak Asian markets are responsible for the slack C-wood demand must remain open until the conclusion of export contracts.
