Managing forest industry risk
The StoneX Forest Products Team customizes solutions to successfully manage risks impacting the forest industry.
Increased bottom lines and profitability
The StoneX Forest Products Team has significant experience in creating customized solutions to successfully manage a broad spectrum of risks impacting the forest industry. We have developed hedging and risk management programs for companies all along the lumber supply chain, including producing mills, wholesale, distribution, integrated producers and end users.
Lumber market
Our lumber trading specialists have significant forest industry experience and work proactively and collaboratively with you to manage risk and grow your business. Our extensive basis database enables the forest products team to develop detailed quantitative analyses of your products in order to fine tune and enhance lumber hedging strategies.
Why partner with StoneX?
Lumber prices are extremely volatile and, for many, the primary determinant of profitability.

We help you understand the relationship between futures and the specific products you produce or trade, and develop a program that reduces market risk while managing margins.
