APFC is a forestry-producer association with an office in Coruche and a channel connecting parties trading cork. This directory classifies it as a listing and intermediary platform for a forest raw material. The office location does not mean that every lot is stored in Coruche: origin and collection point need confirmation for each listing. Forest owners can identify prospective customers, while processors can investigate a lot's characteristics before opening commercial negotiations.
The historical table includes two sold lots from December 2022: Avis at EUR 42/@ and Sousel at EUR 40/@. The @ symbol denotes arroba and is retained without conversion into kilograms. These are individual lot prices, not a current market average. A platform heading referring to 2025 does not automatically update older entry dates.
A buyer should ask where the cork is located, how it has been prepared, and about moisture, thickness and classification. For a contract associated with harvesting, establish whether the valuation concerns extracted material or another scope of supply. Samples and an agreed assessment method are useful. A cork processor can evaluate a unit price properly only alongside the expected use of the material. Neither the municipality name nor cork age replaces a quality specification, and transport distance may alter the attractiveness of otherwise similar offers.
A seller should prepare a property or lot description, estimated quantity, vehicle access details and a possible handover date. Distinguish estimated quantity from the weight ultimately used for settlement. The parties should agree responsibility for harvesting, storage, weighing and transport rather than assuming one standard across all listings. Contact with APFC can clarify publication and intermediary arrangements; no particular commission or sale guarantee is assumed here. These suggestions help prepare an enquiry to the association and the eventual counterparty.
The price channel receives R status because the visible evidence is historical. A blank price field or missing-data indicator does not mean a zero price, and an old for-sale label does not prove present availability. Comparisons should match preparation and collection conditions while preserving the source unit. Obtain a new quotation with a validity date and a clear statement of included costs before contracting. Future directory editions can add observations under the same ID while retaining earlier entries with their original dates. This makes the file useful for building a price history without presenting old offers as current stock.
