Abstract & Key message Chestnut timber is a resource that has so far been underestimated. The production of laminated chestnut beams represents important progress; it is necessary to check its market performances and the opportunities offered from non-market characteristics. To ensure competitiveness margins in the future, dedicated chestnut timber policy is required. & Context European Union policies for sustainable development converge towards the enhancement of forest resources. Hypothesis: enlargement of the range of wood products and increase in timber products usage can only be achieved if these products are more competitive than conventional. & Aims With respect to conifer timber, chestnut timber has competitive characteristics. However, chestnut timber has had very few opportunities for market development in the last decades. As result of its competitiveness margins, the laminated chestnut beams process has recently developed. For this product, a conventional market or competitiveness space has been established as well as its extension in relation to non-market characteristics. & Methods Market space has been defined by determining & &
the producer’s reserve price limits, using the cost approach criteria; the consumer’s upper limit, using the market comparison approach;
Handling Editor: Barry A. Gardiner Contribution of the co-authors Carbone F. was the scientific responsible of the manuscript and also the coordinator of economic unit. He has developed the elaborations, and he is the author of Sects. 1, 3 and 6. He is the corresponding author. Moroni Sara has elaborated and submitted market survey, build the economic dataset and elaborated the data; has monitored the chestnut laminated beams process and collected the technical and economic data. Moroni S. in cooperation with Carbone F. are the authors of Sects. 2.2, 4 and 5. Romagnoli M. was the scientific manager and project coordinator; she also was the scientific responsible of the monitoring of laminated chestnut beam production process. In cooperation with Mazzocchi F., they have analysed production cycle, machines and technologies used in the laminated chestnut beams production cycle, monitoring the process and elaborate the dataset; they have wrote Sect. 2.1.2. Portoghesi L. was the scientific manager responsible of the chestnut coppice forest management unit. In cooperation with Mattioli W. they have analysed the chestnut forest management and wrote the section Chestnut forest and log production. They have wrote Sect. 2.1.1. * F. Carbone [email protected]
