This report analyses the timber prices in Great Britain, using the Softwood Sawlog Price Index (SSPI) - tracked by non-ministerial government department, the Forestry Commission - as a proxy. As stated by the Forestry Commission, which is an agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the SSPI is based on administrative data for sales of softwood sawlogs (i.e., roundwood with a top diameter of 14 cm or more) collated by Forestry England, Forestry and Land Scotland and Natural Resources Wales. The SSPI is calculated from data covering separate six-month periods to 30 September and 31 March, whereby data presented in this report represents the average of two separate six-month readings over a given financial year (i.e., April-March). The SSPI used for this report considers prices in real teams and has a base period in 2021 (i.e., six-month period to 30 September 2021 = 100.0 points).

The latest National Statistics on Timber Price Indices produced by the Forestry Commission were released on 15 November 2018 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority. Timber Price Indices are based on sales by the Forestry Commission and Natural Resources Wales and consist of the Coniferous Standing Sales Price Index and the Softwood Sawlog Price Index. They present data to September 2018 for Great Britain.
