Wood-based materials industry: greater added value in<br />
the country – greater strength for the middle class<br />
A whole bundle of measures is to reach the wood industry and<br />
is aimed to quadruple the wood production within a decade,<br />
increase the added value in the country, and strengthen the<br />
middle class. Part of these measures includes an exemption of<br />
import duties on wood-processing machines, punitive tariffs for<br />
the export of logs, support measures for construction projects,<br />
as well as clearly reduced interest rates for loans. Due to these<br />
measures, the willingness to invest has significantly increased.<br />
Another driving force for the Russian wood-based materials industry:<br />
Compared to the inhabitants of the other BRIC countries<br />
– Brazil, India, China – the Russian citizens have the highest<br />
average income. Consequently, Russia benefits from a purchasing<br />
power that bestows the consumer industry with good prospects.<br />
the demand for furniture is constantly rising. Furthermore, the<br />
building of homes is in full swing.<br />
