In the Krasnoyarsk region in 2018 harvested a record amount of wood

According to Interfax-Siberia, timber enterprises of the Krasnoyarsk territory in 2018 harvested about 26 million cubic meters of business wood, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk territory Alexander Uss said at a press conference on Tuesday, December 25 in Krasnoyarsk.

“This is an absolute record, more than it was in socialist times. But this should not calm us down, we have a need to increase the processing of forests. Therefore, the next year should be the year of decriminalization of the forest industry. There are a lot of questions with “black” loggers, with lack of control, and this should be finished,” said Alexander Uss.

According to the regional Ministry of forestry, in 2017, 23.1 million cubic meters of business timber were harvested in the Krasnoyarsk region, which is 20% more than a year earlier.
