Lorax writes "Caoba ..upwards of $100 US a board foot. Guapinol .. $30". In my parts, even with permits (trees fallen by a recent hurricane), the offer, in situ, is $24 and $13 respectively per cubic meters (about 195 board feet per M3). Even with such low prices, very few companies are coming in. I am planting these 2 species amongst others but the prospect of a future harvest is questionable without improved security and stability. Chong, you turned to red oak because it comes from places where this is not an issue.
