Putin: It’s strange that Russia buys wood products abroad
It’s strange that Russia buys wood products abroad, said Russian President Vladimir Putin. Writes about this RIA Novosti.
The head of state noted that Russia has one of the largest logging areas in the world. “The logging area is huge, and there are a wide variety of wood products, and high-quality paper… we buy a lot of this abroad. Well, it’s just strange,” he said.
According to the president, the situation is changing for the better, but not as quickly as we would like. He promised that Moscow would do everything to support enterprises producing wood products.
It was previously reported that in January-July 2024, Russian timber merchants began to export less wood abroad. Over six months, the Russian Federation supplied 13 million cubic meters of lumber and roundwood abroad – four percent less in annual terms, Roslesinforg announced the figures.
