Research and Strategic Analyses in the Wood Sector Department

 

The Research and Strategic Analyses in the Wood Sector Department conducts research connected with macro- and mezoeconomic aspects of forestry-wood sector operation. The department prepares analyses of the wood market and short- and long-term forecasts of its development. It monitors economic, organisational, and technical-technological phenomena occurring in forestry and in the wood industry, as well as the market in wood and the products of wood processing for the requirements of national and foreign statistics.

The department runs the databank “Drzewnictwo” – a fact-collecting database containing information on the forestry-wood-sector in Poland.
