The major proportion of pulp wood is marketed as firewood, producing negative financial effects on the overall operation of forest management enterprises. Due to mismanagement of deciduous forests, uncontrolled logging and clear-cutting across a wide area, especially of beech forests in the pre-war period when trees of higher quality were logged and those of poorer quality were left behind, forests have been significantly degraded and will require over 50 years to regain stability and ensure sustainable production. This stems from the fact that the installed capacity for primary wood processing is 2.5 - 3 times higher than possible timber production (total permissible cut). In particular this includes the production of boards (particle boards, medium density fibreboards and hardboard) which account for a significant portion of overall FBiH imports. Enterprises work in accordance with cantonal regulations and under supervision of cantonal ministries based on 10-year plans as described below.
