Buying and Selling Wood

[colinthailand20005]

I would like to know from other members some information about buying and selling eucalyptus.

 

So this is where I am at now, my Aunt has a weighbridge and a big company has been renting out her land for the last year they buy and sell eucalyptus on a big scale, she asked them to leave  and wants to give it for free to me and my wife,  my Aunts business has been there for many years so we have a regular customers returning every day, normally between 30 and 60 tons a week 2 x truck loads going to Bangkok to sell it.

 

Now they tell me they buy wood from people for 1 baht and sell it in Bangkok for 1.4 baht per KG, does this sound right?

 

The profits we have worked out to be about 3000 baht per trip after shipping and loading costs, it doesn't sound much to me but if any members out there have experience in this field any advice would be much appreciated.

From the weigh bridge yards I buy eucalyptus for B1,000 a ton, so they would be paying less. It may vary from province to province.
