The real return on assets in wood production in non-industrial private forests was 6.3% in 2022. Despite high inflation, the rise in wood prices pushed the return above the average of the previous 10 years. Information about the statistics To view the original on Luke's website, including an omitted graph, click here.
The return on assets in wood production is an index of returns calculated based on felling, standing sale prices, state subsidies for wood production, wood production costs and stand data. The calculation relates income and costs to the stumpage value of the stand, calculated based on the volume of trees and standing sale prices.
The data are based on Luke statistics and the National Forest Inventory (NFI) on forest land for wood production. For the 2020–2022 stand calculations, the results of the 2017–2021 NFI measurements were used. In the statistics, the last two years are preliminary data, as the new inventory data are used to refine the stand data in the calculation.
The change in monetary value has been made using the Cost of living index (1951:10=100).
