Notes on interpretation
- Prices vary significantly by grade, moisture content and buyer type.
- Government-run depot auctions (e.g. in Karnataka) publish their own realisations from time to time — refer to the concerned state forest department for official series.
- Export values shown as an index only, to convey relative movement rather than absolute value.
