Today, the management of the State Forestry Association summed up the results of last year's work.
— We managed to carry out large-scale technical re-equipment, in particular of logging and woodworking equipment and units. A total of over 130 million rubles were invested. We are ready to compete on equal terms with colleagues from other regions," said Yuri Zablotsky. — Today, we are capable of harvesting as much timber as needed. We strive to keep up with the times, improving the quality of this process and, consequently, incomes.
The collegium was attended by the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin and the Minister of Forestry of Belarus Vitaly Drozhzha. The honored guests emphasized that 2021 was a successful year for the forestry enterprises of the Vitebsk region. They achieved a lot, but they should not relax in order to continue moving forward. To do this, it is necessary to utilize existing reserves.

— The foresters of the region were able to prove, first of all to themselves, that they are capable of serious achievements," said Vitaly Drozhzha. — It was especially pleasing that in their activities they focused on attracting investments, ensured a steady increase in wages, and therefore look to the future with confidence. They regularly have new investment projects, the timber processing process is deepening, including the implementation of production facilities that use waste from sawing – sawdust, edgings, and trimmings.
