ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF THE FORESTRY COMPLEX OF THE VORONEZH REGION: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

The article analyzes and evaluates the state of forest resources, including the Voronezh region. Based on the assessment and analysis, the following problems of the forestry complex were identified: failure to perform thinning; insufficient investment level; lack of development of the use of forests for the purpose of carrying out recreational activities; wear and tear of vehicles; the lack of information on the markets for the sale of wood from the Voronezh region in other constituent entities of the Russian Federation, here the negative aspects are that almost all the wood of the region is consumed within the region, only a small part of the wood is exported. The main problem of the forestry complex is the lack of a comprehensive information resource (lack of up-to-date forest inventory data in electronic formats; centralized database; inconsistency and dissociation of forest data stored in various information systems of subordinate institutions of Rosleskhoz; lack of reliable information on the volumes of harvesting, turnover and export of timber etc.). In addition to the problems, the article outlines the prospects for the development of the forest complex of the Voronezh region: zoning of the forest fund by the types of planned forest development; formation of forest plots for use and putting them up for auctions taking into account demand; determination of the initial rent, taking into account the demand for forest plots in various forest districts.
