The volume of timber exports from Karelia outside the region exceeded 840 thousand cubic meters

This information was published by the North Sea Interregional Department of the Rosselkhoznadzor, which is responsible for monitoring and registration of shipments of forest products from Karelia.

In addition to raw wood, the agency also monitored the movement of 61,000 young conifers. To guarantee the phytosanitary safety of each batch of timber, 17.3 thousand quarantine certificates were issued.

As representatives of the department noted, most of the permits concerned lumber, untreated logs and technological chips.

The geography of Karelian wood supplies covered such regions as Dagestan, Ingushetia, Tatarstan, Komi, Chechnya, as well as the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions. Significant volumes of products were also sent to the Vologda, Leningrad and Moscow regions.

The Rosselkhoznadzor emphasizes that the supervision of the movement of regulated products plays a key role in preventing the spread of forest pests and diseases.
