Since beginning of year, Lesy Ukrainy has increased timber harvesting by almost 50%

9 February , 2026  

Since the beginning of 2026, Lesy Ukrainy has harvested 244,000 cubic meters more timber products than in the same period in 2025, the state-owned enterprise’s press service reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the report, the pace of harvesting has increased by 44%. The work is being carried out ahead of schedule, despite unfavorable weather conditions – snowfalls and severe frosts.

At the same time, Lesy Ukrainy noted that businesses are choosing contracted products with a certain delay. The main reasons are the lack of electricity and logistics problems, in particular due to enemy attacks on the railway in some northern regions.

“We are in constant contact with our customers. In general, businesses are not refusing products, but are proposing to revise shipment schedules,” the state-owned enterprise noted.

Currently, there is an increase in the stock of certain types of timber in warehouses, but this is not critical for the winter period. The company has decided not to slow down the pace of harvesting, strictly adhering to its commitments for 2026. Lesy Ukrainy added that further developments will depend on the buyers of timber products.
