ECONOMY OF THE FORESTRY AND PROBLEMS OF ITS REFORMATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

In Ukraine, a new stage of reformation of the forestry has started, but it occurs, as always, without suitable development. The citations of the Conception of reformation or the Strategy of balanced development of Ukraine’s forestry and hunting economy till 2020 as the normative-legal acts, which can be found in the Internet, should be considered extremely doubtful.
The article clarifies the relative financial indicators of the expenditures on the forestry and the incomes to the state and local budgets for the last years and in the XX century. The main product of the former and current forestry is wood, and the object of labor is the land, i.e., we deal with the land utilization. Just this term is discussed for a long time in the public sources of scientific information. But the authorities, by referring to the Forest Code of Ukraine, replaced it by the term “forest utilization”, which corresponds neither to the forestry production composition, nor the object of labor in the branch of forestry. Sooner or later, the executive bodies of the public power should comprehend the essential difference of the identified economic management on land from the national one, i.e., the impersonal one, and that the object of labor for the forestry is the land (land area), so that its utilization should be paid through the rent payment It is necessary to pay namely for the use of land areas, rather than for timber materials, whose amount and quality depend on the economic management art. It is also necessary in order that the use of wood and timber goods produced from it will stop «o feed» the shadow schemes of their sale. Moreover, the very physiological process of growth of wood is one of the most important factors of carbon coagulation and one of the factors of its decrease in the air composition. The reformation of the branch of forestry on market principles should be preceded by an improvement of the forest legislation.
