Renewing Russian wood utilization chains could bring multi-benefits
29/06/2010
Russia is modernizing its wood processing industry. Greenfield projects are challenging due to the lack of infrastructure. But upgrading the existing wood processing units and integrating them into one chain - from stump to end product - could open up a faster and the most sustainable way to improve the industry's production and overall competitiveness as well as bringing multiple local benefits. This kind of chain can be created in the Republic of Komi, North-West Russia, for instance. But this – as well as other existing chains in Russia – call for foreign investments.
