Demand for kiln-dried larch lumber made in eastern Siberia has grown noticeably in Central Europe in the second half of May. At the same time, comparatively low volumes arrived, like in the preceding weeks. Against this background, the supply situation has continued to deteriorate over recent weeks. Especially 32x150mm larch lumber is short in supply at the moment. Supply gaps are also materialising for 50x150mm lumber, while all other sizes are still available in sufficient quantities as a rule.
