Log procurement volumes grew 26%, with 15.1 million m3 of sawlogs procured from a total of 33.4 million m3, which was up 10% compared to the average procurement volume over the past 10 years.
FFIF said the steadier than normal sales in the final months of 2013 meant the storms in December did not substantially increase timber trade volumes.
In December 2013, pine logs cost on average €55/m3, with spruce averaging at €56/m3 and birch €40/m3.
FFIF warned that Finland needed to capitalise on its growing forest stock, which is almost doubling every year compared with logging volumes.
"As much as a quarter of sustainable logging opportunities go unused each year," it said.
