DIRECTIONS OF THE STATE SUPPORT FOR FOREST USE IN LOW-WOOD REGIONS OF RUSSIA
In the article, the authors proposed strategic directions of state support for efficient forest management in low forest areas of Russia. The authors conducted a study of the main indicators and trends in the development of afforestation and forest use in one of the regions of the Central Federal District, which belong to the sparsely wooded zone of Russia. The basis for the development of directions of state support is the identification and analysis of factors of external and internal impact that determine forest management activities, including reforestation in low forest regions of Russia. The authors consider the climatic factors (geographic location of the forest fund section, the duration of the work season, the calculated cutting area, the burning of forests, outbreaks of mass reproduction of harmful organisms, forest damage by natural climatic influences, meteorological conditions), demographic factors (characterizing the territory and security of the industry). resources), political factors (availability of statutory laws, changes in forest legislation, stability in governance and the forest sector, state support), economic factors (interest rates on lending to small enterprises, rates and fees applied in the forest sector) and social factors (level of social protection of forestry workers, level of infrastructure support for the industry. The authors analyzed the regulatory framework that determines the current state and trends in the provision of state support for afforestation in Russia.
