Timber industry

The Omsk Region is one of the most heavily forested regions of the Russian Federation and represents a real basis for the full-fledged development and functioning of enterprises in the forestry and woodworking industries.

The region is located in several natural complexes: full taiga, small-leaved forests, northern and southern forest-steppes and steppes. The bulk of the operational forest fund is located in the northern, ecologically clean areas of the region. Birch and aspen predominate in the hardwood forest area, while pine, fir, spruce, and cedar predominate in coniferous forests.

• The raw material base is 5927 thousand hectares.;
• The area of the forest fund accounts for 42% of the total area of the Omsk region, of which 82.6% are operational forests.;
• high bonit of forest plantations;
• The unique resources of the Omsk region are about 13 million cubic meters of "business" wood, suitable for the production of plywood, furniture, construction and finishing materials. An outstanding property of birch woodlands is the light milky color of birch wood, which significantly increases the aesthetic qualities and price of the final product. Such wood is available only in a few countries of the world: Canada, Sweden and Russia (Omsk region);
• the advantageous economic and geographical location of the Omsk region and the proximity of emerging Asian markets.

Main directions and development opportunities:

1. deep processing of wood;
2. production of building materials;
3. processing of wood waste into wood fuel;
4. production of import-substituting products;
5. logging.
