Property Description
State forest
In accordance with the legislation of Russia, land plots with forest belong to the state and cannot be privately owned.
To support logging activities, the state rents out forest plots (with payment for cubic meters of growing forest) or sells the right to cut down forests on individual plots.
Each region of the Russian Federation holds annual auctions for the right to cut down forests.
Since 2020, another source of wood has appeared-agricultural land that can be privately owned.
How did the forest grow on agricultural land?
From 1990 to 2010, the bankruptcy of the last collective farms and state farms created under the USSR continued.
The reason for bankruptcy is the inefficiency of doing business, the lack of working capital, and the complete wear and tear of agricultural machinery.
The closure of collective and state farms was gradual. Agricultural enterprises did not have enough money to conduct agricultural business, state support (lending) it was missing. State farms each year reduced the area of fields where agricultural activities were carried out.
Abandoned fields became more and more and they were gradually overgrown with forest.
Currently, more than 60 million hectares of agricultural fields in the Russian Federation are overgrown with young forest.
Forest in Russian Federation in private ownership
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1509 of 21.09.2020 amended the Legislation of the Russian Federation, which allowed the owners to register the forest grown in their fields and become the owners of the grown forest.
Within two years, each field owner must clear their fields of young forest and conduct agricultural activities, or register the forest and conduct a business for growing the forest.
Today in the Russian Federation, there is a unique situation where you can make a very profitable investment in the purchase of young forest and become the owner of a long-term and profitable business.
Mostly, the fields are overgrown with birch, but there is also aspen and alder.
Rarely are there fields that are overgrown with a fir tree or pine.
The owner has two options for doing business – full processing of the grown wood immediately after the purchase of the land plot or annual processing of 1/40 of the forest.
With the annual processing of 1/40 of the forest, the annual growth of deciduous trees will exceed the volume of annual logging and the forest will continue to grow.
The maximum volume growth of birch occurs at the age of 18-26 years.
In the first five years, the birch grows slowly, and after ten years, the growth rate can reach two meters per year (pine is less than 1 meter, spruce is 0.5-0.6 meters).
How many cubic meters of wood per 1 hectare of birch?
The height of the trees is 10 meters – 90m3
The height of the trees is 12 meters – 116m3
The height of the trees is 15 meters – 160m3

The height of the trees is 30 meters – 400m3
