Abstract
The aim of the study is to describe the main trends and possibilities in Russian forestry. Based on statistical data, the authors analyze general trends in the Russian forest industry like woodworking, roundwood and wood pellets production. Russia's output of roundwood, sawnwood, wood pellets, wood-based panels and veneer sheets has been growing steadily over the past 5 years. The production of only two wood-based panel types – hardboard and other fiberboard – is either absent or in decline. The results include decline in roundwood export and the growth rates in wood pellets, sawnwood, wood-based panels, and veneer sheets exports. The Russian forest industry has room to grow its export of forest products. This requires technology upgrading, which could be facilitated by proactive government policies.
Keywords: forest industry, woodworking industry, bioenergy, Russia
期刊介绍：
The journal welcomes the original articles as well as short reports, review papers on forestry and forest science throughout the Baltic Sea region and elsewhere in the area of boreal and temperate forests. The Baltic Sea region is rather unique through its intrinsic environment and distinguished geographical and social conditions. A temperate climate, transitional and continental, has influenced formation of the mixed coniferous and deciduous stands of high productivity and biological diversity. The forest science has been affected by the ideas from both the East and West.
In 1995, Forest Research Institutes and Universities from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
joined their efforts to publish BALTIC FORESTRY.
