To begin with a bit of background. To encourage the development of
strategic sectors of the economy, a mechanism of governmental support
to promising large investment projects has been developed in Russia,
aimed at making high added value products within Russia. To get such
support, an investment project has to be entered on to the so-called "List
of priority investment projects." Each industry has its own list, to be
maintained by the relevant federal ministry or department. In addition,
such lists may exist at the regional and municipal level, and decisions on
particular methods of governmental support will be made there.
The particular terms of granting priority investment project status, and
the preferences offered are stated in the statutory documents regulating
the maintenance of such lists and measures of governmental support for
projects entered on them.
To encourage the development of the forestry and timber sector, a
mechanism of governmental support to investment projects on the
"List of Priority Investment Projects in Forest Management" has been
working in Russia since 2007. Today, the Ministry of Industry and Trade
of the RF is responsible for maintaining this list. The conditions of
assigning priority status to a project are gradually changing (becoming
stricter as a rule), therefore there is no use describing them in detail
-
here firstly, this information is publicly available, and secondly, it
may become obsolete by the date of issue of this collection. Adding
an investment project to the priority list offers several preferences to
the investor, the most important ones being the right to obtain an
allowable cut area without an auction; furthermore, the investor will
be entitled to a reduced rent for forest sites, with a factor of 0.5, for
the payback period.
-
We had our reasons to title this publication an ATTEMPT at summarizing
the priority project data because, strange as it may seem, complete
and exact data would not be provided by ANY of the departments that
supposedly should have it by the nature of their functions (and make
it available upon journalists' request according to media law). The long,
and honestly very difficult work of obtaining, bringing together, and
analyzing dissonant information from various sources resulted in the
table that we are now offering you. Probably, in fact - definitely, it is far
from perfect and needs supplements and corrections, however we daresay
that the industry's specialists will not see a similar collation anywhere
else. That is to say, you may find it of use.
The first step of production was started in 2012. Now sawn timber and briquettes are being produced. Start up of power station based on bio-fuel is in planning
