Description

This is one of the first public documents to present accurate, reliable data describing the forest sector of Russian industry, including data revealing behavior within the forest sector at a regional level, and possibly the only one to include analyses that look far beyond the present to provide a glimpse of what the future might hold. Following an introduction, Chapter 2 reviews the forest sector in Russia, including the deciduous resource and prices and costs. Chapters 3-6 cover regional diversity in forest resources and utilization in European Russia, West Siberia, East Siberia, and the Far East. Chapter 7 deals with the trade patterns of Russia and former Soviet Union republics. Chapters 8 and 9 cover analytical methods and scenarios focusing on accessibility, capital requirements, and product demand. Chapter 10 examines policy implications and future avenues of research. The book includes bibliographic references, a glossary, and an appendix with extensive statistical data.
