forest and forest products country profile

2005 - Geneva Timber and Forest
Discussion Paper 40, Forest and Forest
Products Country Profile: Serbia and Montenegro
continues a series of country forest and
forest products profiles, which provide
general forest sector information for
a particular country. The forest and forest
products sector in Serbia and Montenegro,
in common with many Balkan countries,
was hard hit by the political and economic
upheaval that occurred in the region,
and suffered severely as a consequence.
There is now evidence
to suggest that Serbia and Montenegro
may be gradually regaining its previous
export strength in many wood products.
This is a welcome development and, if
it can be sustained, may bring the much
needed capital for investment in modernisation
and expansion of capacity under the developing
market economy.
This paper is intended
for the use of both domestic and foreign
experts, as much of this information is
little known and not easy to collect.
The paper contains data and analysis on
the forest resources, wood processing
industry, trade, consumption, prices,
institutions and policies in Serbia and
Montenegro.
