Yes, that's the bulk in-tree price. If I invests in a couple of machines and hire a truck to bring it to the mill, they will let me wait and grow desperate (all my cash is out and the truck is waiting for his pay). They will finally offer pennies. i will accept the pennies and probably go bankrupt. If they want something specific, they will lend pennies to an operator that they hold on a short leash. The effect: those who could be caring for the forest cannot afford a bullet. sorry, but "indigenous communal forestry" will remain a trendy gimmick until this glitch is fixed. Same with carbon sequestration schemes, so far, the best offers I've seen trickle no more than 25% down to the owner/custodian.
