Ukraine is seeking to expand exports of forest planting material to the European Union, with potential annual export revenues estimated at up to €5 million and projected profits of around €2 million per year.The country is focusing on developing modern forest seed production, upgrading forest nursery centers, and adapting legislation to EU standards. Ukraine aims to become a competitive supplier of seedlings for the European market, particularly for pine, spruce, fir, larch, and oak species.Currently, Ukraine operates nine modern forest nurseries with a combined annual capacity of 14 million seedlings. By 2030, production capacity is expected to more than double to 30 million seedlings annually.Officials estimate that Ukraine’s domestic demand for container-grown seedlings stands at around 20 million units per year, while export potential could reach an additional 10 million seedlings annually.The initiative was discussed during a government meeting in the Chernihiv region attended by Deputy Minister Taras Vysotskyi, members of parliament, and representatives of the State Forest Resources Agency and the state enterprise “Forests of Ukraine”.https://me.gov.ua/News/Detail/1b923ce8-a605-47d4-9fd5-e65d8572e3db?lang=uk-UA&title=UkrainskiiSadivniiMaterialMozhePrinositiDo5-MlnvroEksportnoiViruchkiSchoroku (ICE KIEV)
