RESPONSE TO REVIEW A.YU. FRANCUZOV TO ARTICLE “THE CONCEPT OF THE DRAFT FEDERAL LAW” FOREST CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of the economic organization of forestry and proposals for its transformation from the sphere of budgetary services to the branch of material production, based on the international practice of profitable forestry without its integration with the timber processing industry. We have given a brief description of the low investment attractiveness of forestry production due to its long-term nature, which requires a special source of funding, and also described the advantages of state forestry organizations in terms of state ownership of forests over private forest use, burdened with forest reproduction activities (forest lease). The paper presents the general provisions of the forest management model based on the licensed right to conduct forestry by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in state forests.
