Abstract

The subject of the research in this paper is the pricing system in the forest complex; essences and classifications of approaches to pricing are considered and analyzed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the currently existing pricing system efficiency in the forest industry, improve the system for assessing forest stands using the rental approach when harvesting timber in a leased forested area. These are the main ideas of the research. Pricing is one of the most important components of the forest industry, since the role of resource price formation is not only to provide the enterprise with revenue, but should also contribute to the effective implementation of the state policy for the forest fund reproduction. This proves the need to develop a methodology that solves the issue of natural resources efficient use. A computational experiment on calculating the cost of producing round timber when renting forests for the purpose of harvesting timber makes it possible to identify rent that contributes to a more rational use of the forest fund. In the field of forestry, various approaches to pricing are used such as comparative, costly, profitable, systemic, mathematical and rental ones. Pricing in the forest industry implies the presence of three economic components necessary for the implementation of an effective state policy, namely the social component, reproduction and innovation. A computational experiment on calculating the cost of a standing crop on a forest plot located on the territory of the Yambatorsky district forestry of the Mari-Turek forestry in the Mari El Republic showed that the natural rent makes up 27,6 %, and taking into account the standard profit, the rent totals 39,7 %. The relative value of the minimum payment rates for standing crop for the trial forest area is 1,5 % of the market value of the assortments. The result of the study is to develop measures aimed at improving the efficiency of the pricing system. The proposed approach to calculating the cost of standing crop as a whole will allow taking into account the main rent-forming factors and increasing the efficiency of forest management from the point of view of the state policy, as well as establishing equal economic opportunities for forest users.
