Operational Group: New systems and processes for the valorization, concentration and marketing of poplar wood

The creation of this Operational Group aims to establish a new business model for the sale of forest products: the public auction of standing poplar timber from plantations.

A new method that is more objective and fair for all parties involved. Unlike what has been done so far in Catalonia, the aim is to carry out an initial appraisal of the plantations by expert technicians in order to subsequently establish a fair price for each of these plantations. Once agreed upon with the owner, the sale of different plantations can be prepared and executed in a grouped manner, thus consolidating the offer and making it much more attractive to the sector, through public auctions of these plantations with different lots.

These auctions will facilitate the safe and more efficient sale of wood to foresters, while also offering the market a significant amount of product, making this market more attractive to all types of companies in the poplar sector.

In addition to this appraisal and auction sale, the subsequent monitoring of all forestry work carried out is also planned, with the establishment of a series of contracts and conditions that ensure the proper management and execution of forestry work on the plantations.
