The Russian forest sector: Prospects for trade with the former Soviet republicsC.A.BackmanauthorA specialist on the Russian forest industry reviews the production, trade, and consumption of forest products in seven macroregions of the former Soviet Union and estimates future trade activity using a model of the forest sector incorporating 10 five-year periods of analysis. Past and present trends in production, consumption, and trade are outlined via 12 tables derived from original statistical sources. Future estimates of forest-sector activity are presented through seven tables that extrapolate behavioral patterns of market economies with respect to the consumption of forest products to the former Soviet republics.1996RoutledgeArticle
