Comments
• In compliance with the new Forest Code, all forestry expenditures including fire control and pest control have been shifted onto forest leasers. It's possible to forecast that the quantity of small and medium independent forest harvesting enterprises should decrease and the cost of wood should rise.
• Increase a duty rate on export of round wood has already had effect on drop in deliveries to the EU countries in 2007 (-30%) as compared to the corresponding period of the last year. It’s possible to predict a decrease in export volume of industrial wood to the Asian-Pacific Region as well since April 2008.

• Principal species of wood, ml. ha:- Larch- 261.4- Pine - 115.2- Spruce-74.6- Birch -95.9- Aspen -20.1
• Total volume of wood - 81,900,000 m3• Allowable cut is over 500, 000, 000 m3
(where 300 ml.m3 –coniferous forest)
168, 500, 000 m3 was logged in 2003, where:
• clear cutting -128, 000, 000 m3(1/4 of allowable cut)
Why only ¼?• Forests are located in remote areas
with poor road networks and high transportation expenses
• Old and low capacity equipment etc.
