ABSTRACT:

Wood harvesting has traditionally been an industry of low profitability in Russia, and increasing forest lease payments are expected to impair the situation. Understanding the structure of wood costs and thus the factors affecting the profitability of logging operations is a prerequisite for securing a sustainable wood supply for the whole forest industry. This article reports the main findings and discusses the factors affecting the cost price of roundwood.
Keywords: cost price, logging, taxes, forest lease

RESUMEN:

La extracción de madera ha sido tradicionalmente una industria de baja rentabilidad en Rusia, y el aumento de los pagos de arrendamiento forestal perjudica la situación. Comprender la estructura de los costos de la madera y, por lo tanto, los factores que afectan la rentabilidad de las operaciones de tala es un requisito previo para garantizar un suministro sostenible de madera para toda la industria forestal. Este artículo informa los principales hallazgos y discute los factores que afectan el precio de costo de la madera en rollo.
Palabras clave: precio de costo, tala, impuestos, arrendamiento forestal
