Abstract
In this study, the effects on forest industry
sector, price determination policies and past and present conditions of wood
raw materials supplied from national forest resources to forest industry sector
were examined in Turkey. The data which is obtained from literature review,
legislation and applications are analysed using data analysis method, and then
the subject is evaluated. With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, it
is accepted that the principle of operation and management of national forests
is given to General Directorate of Forestry (GDF) which is state institution.
Until the privatization of state-owned enterprises, Forest Products Industry
Corporation (ORUS) and Turkey Pulp and Paper Factories (SEKA), a large part of
the wood raw material produced from national forest resources supplied subsidy
to these institutions by the GDF. At the end of the 20th century, forest
industry sector in Turkey began to be represented by factories, plant and
businesses established by private sector entrepreneurs. The GDF has lagged
behind in new forest industry structure composed of private sector
entrepreneurs; it reduced the cost of wood raw material production and
prevented the real price from being produced in the wood raw material market,
since GDF is a monopoly. Due to both the growth of the sector and the high
prices of wood raw materials produced by the GDF, companies had to import wood
raw materials. The GDF is the monopoly of wood raw materials; it is still on
the market to present to estimated price with high costs of the wood raw
material for buyers that have to buy. The GDF, which accepts high costs on the
formation of wood raw material prices, declared that due to both high labor
costs of production of the wood raw material and supporting the development of
the forest village. But this high costs is still paid by forest industry firms
who still receive wood raw materials from GDF. It is understood that raw
material supply and pricing policies implemented by GDF constitute a major
obstacle to the development of the sector.
Nowadays, Turkey is structurally developed positively; both the sector
and rural areas have been affected positively by this development. The change
in the size and scope of rural development altered the concept of poor and poor
forest villagers. The Law design to ensure the real prices of wood raw
materials produced by GDF were accepted the Grand National Assembly of Turkey
(TBMM) on April 19, 2018. This draft law introduces changes in 30 and 40
articles of the Forest Law 6831. With the amendment of this legislation, it is
believed that GDF will eliminate unnecessary burden on wood raw materials costs
and contribute to the development of private sector businesses operating in the
forest industry sector. Thus, after privatization of ORUS, OGM will establish
positive relationships with the forest industry sector in Turkey.
