The reason for that is a volume increase of forestry products and high value of forestry services; values have been high due to the worse weather conditions and consequently still quite extensive rehabilitation of damaged forests due to the multiplication of bark in 2018, which affected the intensive provision of forestry services. After extensive damage to forests in 2014 due to the ice storm and the multiplication of bark in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and additional wind storms in 2017 and 2018, it continued in 2018.
Vzrok za povišanje vrednosti je bila večja proizvodnja gozdarskih proizvodov ter visoka vrednost gozdarskih storitev; večji sta bili tudi zaradi manj ugodnih vremenskih razmer in zato še vedno precej obsežne sanacije poškodovanih gozdov v letu 2018, kar je vplivalo na intenzivno opravljanje gozdarskih storitev; po obsežnih poškodbah gozdov v letu 2014 zaradi žleda ter namnožitvi podlubnikov v letih 2015, 2016 in 2017, ter vetrolomov v letih 2017 in 2018, se je ta namreč nadaljevala tudi v letu 2018.
