Overview

The prediction of wood use depends on the need for final products and the quality and quantity of available forest resources, which predetermines the need to acquire deep knowledge of marketing management and issues of the wood trade market. Ecological principles of forest management are the second factor that predetermines the economics of production and capital investments in forestry projects and projects of efficient wood processing.

Key Facts
