Resumen
Descripción
The principal objective of this work was to develop market competence and
more efficient trade mechanisms in the Norwegian roundwood markets. The
standard delivery contract covers about 90% of the traded roundwood volume
in Norway. Information about the functioning of this contract was gathered by
interviewing market agents, studying their homepages and arranging a
workshop. This information was then used to contrast the standard delivery
contract with a set of rules designed for best practice contracting, while at the
same time taking into account that most of the roundwood sales are organised
by cooperatives. Improvements of the contract are suggested.
