ЛІСОВЕ ГОСПОДАРСТВО ЯК ПЕРЕДУМОВА ПІДВИЩЕННЯ КОНКУРЕНТОСПРОМОЖНОСТІ ДЕРЕВООБРОБНОГО КОМПЛЕКСУ

Abstract

The presented article analyzes the financial and economic indicators of the functioning of the newly created SE "Forests of Ukraine", which have a tendency to improve. The author also noted that the domestic wood market has an artificially formed surplus, which does not contribute to the development of the woodworking complex for all market participants. This is evidenced by the inflated wood prices of the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine", excessive balances in branch warehouses, the use of re-sorting in corruption schemes, etc. The provided material confirms the unsatisfactory level of personnel policy in the management of the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" (its structural subdivisions), in particular, regarding the elimination of all existing corruption schemes, as well as the involvement of creative business managers. The problem of underutilization of the volume of forest stands to meet the needs of the market, especially of coniferous origin, has been studied. A significant increase in wood harvesting without harming future generations and a constant increase in the level of use of the annual growth of forest stands is substantiated. The author noted that at the legislative level, there is no strategic mission of the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" to ensure state policy, the goal of which is to increase the added value of the national forestry and forestry clusters. There is an imbalance between the goal declared by the state leadership, in particular, the development of the competitiveness of the domestic forestry complex on foreign markets, on the one hand, and the actual activity of the State Enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" in terms of not providing equal conditions for the activities of enterprises in the woodworking industry, on the other. In addition, the justification of experts regarding a certain threat of monopolization of the woodworking market in certain regional business entities with sufficiently large production capacities is given. Ways to ensure equal conditions for the development of business entities in the woodworking industry are proposed, which can serve as a road map for the entry of Ukrainian woodworkers into the world market.
