The presence of a vast forest represents a valuable natural asset to any nation. In the case of the Soviet Union, the harnessing of this resource greatly facilitated its economic development. The particular distribution of forest has resulted in certain regional problems and trends. Presently there is a shift of logging and a slow but gradual migration of associated processing industries northward and eastward from the traditional logging region of central European Soviet Russia. The new emphasis on expanding the wood and paper fabricating industries reflects the growing sophistication of this Soviet industry. Not withstanding the recognized potential of this segment of the Soviet forest industry, there are presently certain shortages of wood and paper products.
