FPDP in 2011-2020[1] period aims to:

  • properly protect existing forest areas; to effectively and sustainably use forest resources and planned forestry land;
  • raise forest cover to 42-43% by 2015 and 44-45% by 2020; to increase forest yield, quality and value; to restructure the forestry sector toward raising its added value; to basically meet domestic and export demands for timber and forest products;
  • generate more jobs and raise incomes for people whose lives depend on forestry, contributing to eradicating hunger, reducing poverty and maintaining security and defence.
