(1-2) The stumpage price for charcoal logs sold by the FPC to SIMCOA is indexed every 1 January and 1 July in accordance with movements in the price of silicon metal on the world market. The world price of silicon fell during 2009, hence the reduced stumpage price on 1 January 2010 compared to 1 January 2009.
