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 models incorporating ten five-year periods of analysis. Past and present trends in production, consumption, and trade are outlined via twelve tables derived from original statistical sources. Future estimates of forest-sector activity are presented in seven tables that extrapolate behavioral patterns of market economies with respect to the consumption of forest products in the former Soviet republics.1996RR-96-018.
