Since the restoration of Latvian independence, the forestry and wood industry has been a key sector of the Latvian economy. Today, the industry contributes more than 27 % of the total value-added in manufacturing.

The wood sector has always been focused on exports and has become one of the most important export sectors. One of the timber industry’s long-term goals is to transform the traditional forest sector into a technologically advanced industry. Today the forestry industry can be proud of its innovative companies operating to the highest global standards, utilising production processes with modern, environmentally friendly technologies and implementing effective resource-management policies. This is strengthening Latvia’s position as a manufacturer of processed, high value-added wood products in world markets. This development course gives a platform not only for businesses, but for the whole country’s economic and social growth.

Andris Ozols Director Investment and Development Agency of Latvia The Significance of the Forest Sector to Latvia’s National Economy

With forests covering more than 50 % of the country’s Final Felling and Forest Regeneration territory (almost double the world average), Latvia is one of the most forested EU member states. Over the last 60 80 years, the forested area has doubled while standing 50 volume has increased 3.8 times, reaching 668 million 40 cubic metres. 30 '000 ha According to National Forest Inventory (NFI) data from 20 2014, the majority of Latvia’s forest cover consists of deciduous trees, 55 % of total woodland. 10 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 46 % of forests are owned by the State and managed by State stock company Latvijas Valsts Meži (Latvian State Final felling Forest regeneration Forests).

The global economic crisis

This proves that the country’s forests are managed stable production of wood raw materials is necessary. according to internationally acknowledged standards of good forestry. Saw-logs dominate in roundwood imports. Until 2008, the Russian Federation was the major source for Currently, more than 50 % of Latvian forests, including roundwood imports. Because of changes in Russia’s all State-owned forests, are certified in accordance export policy, imports from this country have decreased with the PEFC system, and 33 companies in Latvia have substantially. obtained certification of their delivery chains from the same system. Over 370 forest-sector enterprises and Roundwood is mainly used for producing sawn wood, forest owners have certified their timber chain-of-custody wood-based panels, turned and planed products, wood systems according to FSC requirements and the amount fuels, charcoal, etc. Roundwood is also exported as fuel of forestland that has been certified on the basis of FSC or pulpwood. In 2013, compared to 2012, roundwood requirements exceeds 1.7 million hectares. exports decreased by 2 % in terms of value. Pulpwood, which is exported mainly to Sweden, makes up more than 80 % of roundwood exports.

Of all the manufacturers registered in Latvia, 27 % are linked to As a consequence of the rapid growth in the production the forestry sector, which employs around one-fifth of of wood-based panels and fuel products, the utilization the manufacturing labour force. of small-dimension saw-logs has increased significantly over recent years. Local wood-based panel manufacturer In 2013, the forestry sector’s share of Latvia’s Kronospan Riga has become the major purchaser of manufacturing was about 27 %, and the value of pulpwood. products turned out by the sector reached EUR 2.1 billion. Woodworking is also one of the most important export sectors in the Latvian economy, providing around 20 % of WOOD FOR ENERGY overall product exports. The wood energy subsector is very developed in Latvia. In recent years, in order to remain competitive, companies Despite being a relatively small country, Latvia is ranked operating in the woodworking industry have been 4th in the European Union in terms of wood-pellet obliged to give serious consideration to developing production capacity, even though there is little local new competitive products, as it was recognized that demand for them. manufacturing inexpensive products from expensive raw materials was not cost-effective.

The packaging, joinery products, etc.), while the larger production of fuel from wood (pellets, fuel chips, enterprises focus on the production of higher value- firewood, and briquettes) is gaining in importance. added products (load-bearing products, impregnated products, construction materials). Primary wood processing Until recently, logging residues, brushwood, and stumps is generally based on modern technologies meeting had only been used for energy on a limited basis because the requirements of the global market, both in terms of of the high transportation costs for gathering logging productivity and product quality. As a result, primary wood residues from fairly small felling sites dispersed over wide processing has built a stable foundation both for exports areas. More extensive utilization of them could facilitate and the development of further processing, as well as for greater independence for Latvia’s power industry, which the production of higher value-added products. currently has to rely on imported fuels.

EDUCATION

Education in the forestry sector has a very long history which has helped knowledge to be passed down from generation to generation and also to develop new competences.

Education in forestry-related subjects can be obtained at 22 higher and vocational-education institutions, including the Forest Faculty of the Latvian University of Agriculture and the Faculty of Materials Science and Applied Chemistry of Riga Technical University.

In addition, companies actively train their employees to increase their competencies and qualification levels. Latvia’s Forest and Wood Products Research and Development Institute (MeKA) organises a range of seminars and training courses for forestry-sector professionals.

An ability to anticipate the rapidly changing needs of businesses and markets by offering new services characterises the Agency’s own competitiveness, built on the knowledge and competencies of our experienced specialists.
