Hi
One can expect 1/8th of market price for one cubic feet. This is on farm price. For example if the market price of teak is Rs.2000/- per cubic feet, what u can expect for a cubic feet on farm, in tree form is Rs.250/-.
So in a tree if there is net ten cubic feet of timber u can expect Rs.2500/- for that tree not Rs.20,000/-. B'coz there is lot in between of tree form and log form. The timber trader has to bear cutting, transporting, legal costing, seasoning, storing, investment cost, depo maintenance, other losses etc., in that Rs.2000/- cu feet price.
