Who buys poplar and eucalyptus wood and how is the price decided?

Poplar mainly goes to plywood and matchstick units, and eucalyptus to plywood, paper, packing wood and pole buyers. You can sell either directly to a mill, to a timber trader or contractor who harvests and transports for you, or through local agents. Price is usually fixed by girth and weight, with bigger straighter logs of higher girth fetching a better per unit rate than thin or crooked ones. The rate swings with mill demand and the supply in the area, so the same tree can fetch different prices in different years. To get a fair deal, ask rates from more than one mill or trader, know the approximate weight and girth of your trees, and avoid selling in distress. The Yamunanagar belt has many plywood units, so compare quotes before committing.
