Idle selling time to get a high price of poplar tree in India
When the demand is high and supply is low it is idle to sell any product. Similarly in poplar farming the demand for wood gets higher during the July-August month due to insufficient supply. Farmers hardly harvest wood from their farms because of the water in the farms and on the roads. The supply becomes difficult due to waterlogging on the roads. It is difficult to fulfil the demand at that time resulting in a poplar rate hike. It is the best time to sell your wood at a higher price.
However, it is difficult to get the transport and transport the wood to the wood market during July. If you can manage this then you can get the highest rate for your wood. Yamunanagar is the biggest wood market in India situated in Haryana state and UP, Uttarakhand border.
To get the best prices avoid selling the wood on the farm to the contractors. Instead, one must harvest the wood on their own and transport it to the wood market. Believe me, it is much cheaper to arrange some labourers for harvesting and arrange a lorry for transportation.
Some important paperwork is required for selling wood which is not that tough, I have already explained the required paperwork in one of my previous posts.
Avoid selling wood in March and April due to oversupply of the wood in the wood mandi resulting in a decrease in poplar tree rate. At the time most farmers harvested poplar along with sugarcane resulting in more supply and less demand therefore decreasing the price of poplar trees.
