Priorities in forestry planning

Abstract

The main objective of the federal strategy for forestry development is setting industry (what should be done?) and regional (where should it be done?) priorities. We need a scientific approach, which would facilitate strategic decisions incorporating a complete set of criteria and indicators available in a market economy. The industry priority should be based on the industry's capability of innovation-driven growth and manufacturing competitive products for domestic and export markets. In addition to industry priorities, federal strategic planning in the forest sector implies responsibility for location of industries and production facilities across the country. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
