Announce: In Krasnoyarsk from 10th to 13th of September within the 15th International specialized exhibition "ExpoDrev - 2013" the "Siberian Forestry Forum" will take place.
The Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Lev Kuznetsov took part in the Russian Federation state council presidium meeting, which was held under the chairmanship of the President Vladimir Putin in Ulan-Ude. Heads of federal department and Russian regions presented their offers for stimulating development of the country forest complex.
Vladimir Putin, opening the meeting, mentioned that Russia is the high forest cover country, but a huge economic potential stays unrealized. "However we have all the possibilities to increase government revenues here several times, - the President said. - The key aims - to develop release of high-level wood processing products, to increase power of the national wood and paper industry, to use semi-subsistence wood and raw wastes in full, to start realization of a project in the field of biotechnologies".
Commenting the meeting results the Governor Lev Kuznetsov mentioned: "For the Krasnoyarsk Territory, as one of the leading regions of the country, all the issues, noted at the meeting, are very relevant: forest roads, forest management, struggle with the illegal wood trafficking. The problem of high railroad rates is especially important for lumberers, who operate far from the main sales markets".
These and many other issues will be under discussion at the "Siberian Forestry Forum" within the 15th International specialized exhibition "ExpoDrev - 2013". Just at that spot new technologies and equipment for forest industry will be demonstrated. The project will gather manufacturers and dealers of woodworking equipment, developers of new technologies for forest harvesting, wood construction, furniture making.
