The average price for assorted quality teak logs during March was US$846 per hoppus ton
compared to US$876 last month. Actual prices ranged between US$716 and US$1133 per ton.
Analysts suspect that prices may be tending down due to the uncertain global situation and
probable increases in freight costs.

In the first two months of 2003, Brazilian tropical sawnwood exports totalledUS$ 54.9
million, 11.6% more than in the same period in 2002 (US$ 49.2 million), even though the
volume was 19.6% higher. The increase in exports is largely the result of the devaluation
of the Real.
