Business yard is opened in Adigeni municipality
After Imereti and Kakheti regions, the arrangement of the "Business yard" is being completed in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region.
The Head of the National Forestry Agency, Archil Nikoleishvili, opened a "business yard" in the village of Chorchani, Adigeni Municipality. Works are almost completed in Aspindza, Tsaghveri, Borjomi, and Bakuriani.
The National Forestry Agency is changing the timber practice. Social logging will be phased out, the agency will organize timber production, sorting, and warehousing in "business yards". At the initiative of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, "business yards" will be organized in all regions of Georgia. This change will make it easier for the population and the private sector to purchase and transport timber at the desired time.
It should be noted that the new Forest Code, which has already been approved by the Parliament of Georgia, is an important part of the forest sector reform, the main goal of which is to establish multi-purpose forest use, preserve and protect forest ecosystems, use social and economic benefits wisely. Arranging the so-called "business yard", along with other issues provided by the Code, is one of the main tools for the introduction of sustainable forest management.
