Figure 25-2. — Trends of wood chip prices for the export markets of Australia, New 

 Zealand, and the United States West Coast; and the domestic markets of Sweden and 

 the southern United States. A "bone dry unit" of chips contains 2,400 pounds of 

 moisture-free fiber. Data for the southern United States is for softwood chips FOB 

 railcar at sawmill. The export chips from the U.S. West Coast contain both softwoods 

 and hardwoods, those from Australia are Eucalyptus sp., those from New Zealand are 

 mostly softwood, with perhaps 10 percent native hardwoods, and those from Sweden 

 are softwood and hardwood. (Drawing after Overgaard 1978.)
