A program to build six pellet plants in Belarus is being implemented. All of them will be operational in H1 2020 and production is meant for export. The six pellet plants are only the first stage of the program,\u00a0President Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span>Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko has given instructions to work out a program on processing low-grade commercial timber.<\/p>\n

The head of state gave the relevant instructions as he visited an experimental forestry enterprise in Staryye Dorogi District on 16 August, BelTA news agency reports.<\/p>\n

President Lukashenko said:\u00a0It is necessary to process all the timber resources. The program has to be implemented within the next three years. It will have to cover the wood, which cannot be used for purposes other than making wood chips and fuel pellets. It is profitable from the point of view of increasing the level of utilization of local fuel resources and from the point of view of export. The demand for fuel pellets is sufficiently high abroad.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOnly this year, the next one, and 2021! That's all! We will tie in demand at the national level. You have to make plans in a way to get everything processed as of late 2022. It is the main goal. For the next five-year term we should make plans in a way to process everything, to leave no wind breakage. Forests are our greatest treasure. Everything must be processed. If you cannot round the logs and the rest, make pellets and sell them,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Aleksandr Lukashenko said.<\/p>\n

Work is in progress to build and upgrade zero-waste woodworking enterprises in various parts in Belarus in a bid to process more low-grade commercial timber.<\/p>\n

\u201cA program to build six pellet plants is being implemented. The enterprises will resolve the problem of utilization of low-grade timber. All of them will be operational in H1 2020. We intend to get the first few pellets from some of them by the end of this year,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Belarusian Forestry Minister\u00a0Vitaly Drozhzha said. The official also said that the volume of production of fuel pellets will be at least doubled soon.\u00a0\u201cVirtually 100% of it is intended for export and has a high added value,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the forestry minister noted.<\/p>\n

Aleksandr Lukashenko said:\u00a0\u201cThe six pellet plants are the first stage. If we see they don't make enough while the prospects are good and Europe can buy more, don't take too long to launch the second stage. It is necessary to go on, make the equipment cheaper among other things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The country's average forest land percentage stands at 39.8%. The average supply of growing stock amounted to 206.7m3 per 1ha. The share of new stock and genetically selected pedigree stock in the total area dedicated to forest restoration and forest cultivation is 52%. The volume of wood harvested per 1ha of forest land amounted to 3.28m3.<\/p>\n

The forest land area increased as well as the total supply of standing timber, including ripe timber and overmature timber. The main quantity and quality parameters of Belarusian forests have improved. An effective structure to manage the protection of forests from fires has also been created in Belarus.<\/p>\n

As much as 28.6 million m3 of merchantable wood was harvested in Belarus in 2018. As for the economic side of the forestry industry, in 2019 proceeds from sales are expected to reach Br1.05 billion (194.7% as against 2015). Net profit is expected to reach at least Br40.9 million (378.5%) in 2019. The average salary of forestry industry workers is expected to be at least Br1,016 (181.1%) in 2019. In 2018 enterprises run by the Forestry Ministry exported $140.6 million worth of timber products. While the share of round wood export was 51% in 2015, it dropped to zero in 2018. Belarusian forest products were exported to more than 25 countries in 2018. Woodworking is an important component of the economy of the forestry industry. At present the Forestry Ministry system includes 88 woodworking enterprises. The volume of sales of products made by the woodworking industry rises every year. Apart from that, there are hunting businesses in 74 forestry enterprises run by the Forestry Ministry. Proceeds from hunting are expected to reach Br5.5 million in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
