KIEV, Jan. 10 – The timber production and processing sectors in Ukraine are mainly in the shadows today, as there is a large difference between timber production in Ukraine and Poland, a country with forest territory comparable with Ukraine's and similar climate, experts of state-run enterprise Ukrpromzovnishekspertyza said.

With total area covered with forests in Ukraine of almost 9.3 million ha, in 2015 timber production was 19.3 million cubic meters (mcm), while in Poland with forests on 9.44 million ha timber production was 40 mcm.
