Launch of Roundwood SPF, delivered British Columbia – Interior price assessments

After a consultation period, Fastmarkets has launched a quarterly assessment of pulp-grade SPF logs delivered to the interior region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. This launch will include two markets, one assessed in Canadian dollars and another converted to US currency. 

Demand for pulp-grade logs is reported to be increasing in the British Columbia Interior while the availability of sawmill chip tightens. The launch of this new price assessment will enhance Fastmarkets’ woodfiber coverage for the region.

Fastmarkets invited feedback from the industry on the pricing methodology for British Columbia pulplogs-Interior, via an open consultation process between September 2 and October 3, 2025.

Following the consultation period, specifications — including naming conventions and currency — were formalized. The launch will take place on Thursday November 13, 2025.
