PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD OF INVESTING THE FOREST SECTOR: ADOPTING THE EXPERIENCE OF EU

Abstract

The article deals with the issues of investing in the forest sector. The emphasis is on the fact that the borrowing of
international experience is a prerequisite for the development of this area. There is a need for the development of scientific
and methodological directions of the development of forest resource potential, the formation of a market-oriented
organizational and economic mechanism, the revival of a multi-faceted system of organization in the forest sector, the
provision of integrated balanced use and reproduction of forest resources, an increase in the share of forest resources in
the nature-resource potential and national wealth of the country.
A point of view is supported that the important institutional precondition for reforming the forest management system
is the elimination of a number of problems: financial, industrial, technical and social. It is possible to solve these problems
if simultaneously with the reformation of the forest management system the regional markets of forest products and their
infrastructural units will be developed; the competitive environment in the markets for untreated timber will gradually be
formed and the level of adaptation of existing organizational and legal forms of forest use to the fluctuations of the
macroeconomic situation will increase; The motivation of forestry workers to introduce modern forms and methods of
resource conservation and ecologization will increase. It is advisable to gradually develop a market infrastructure for
lending to forest protection projects, to regulate relations regarding the rights of territorial communities and to allocate
unproductive lands for afforestation, strengthening the relationship between forest cadastre data and the base for charging
for special use. In addition, the solution of problems is to reform the forestry using positive domestic and international
experience, a combination of government support measures and the introduction of market mechanisms in forestry, the
preservation of predominantly state ownership of forests.
