As is well known, in European and American countries, international trade export restrictions have been imposed on Russian timber and other industries, and Central Asian countries have become the main market for Russian timber merchants. However, the routes from Russia to Central Asian countries are restricted, leading to a significant increase in transportation costs for Russian timber merchants.

Recently, the "Inter regional Association" of the Siberian Agreement proposed a long-term plan for the development of international and foreign economic relations in the Siberian region at the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum, eliminating infrastructure restrictions in the constantly changing commodity logistics, improving the competitiveness of producers through targeted support measures, and eliminating unnecessary international trade barriers. This is a priority for Siberia and even the entire Russian Federation.

Deputy Governor Vasily Potemkin, responsible for investment policy and property relations in the Tomsk region, stated that further measures are needed to encourage the export of deep woodworking products to international trade in Central Asian countries.

Russian timber companies are deeply troubled by the sanctions imposed by European and American countries. Previously, Pavel Chashchin, head of Roslesinforg, the Russian forest management department, suggested that wood processing companies in the northwest should consider moving to Siberia and the Far East in order to restore the decline in international trade exports due to sanctions.

However, this is not an easy task for timber merchants in the northwest, which requires transportation of production equipment, assessment of environmental conditions, and re selection of sites. After experiencing serious difficulties, timber producers are unable to bear such actions.

Therefore, the proposal proposed by Siberian timber merchants to lift international trade export barriers for timber will greatly facilitate the transportation of timber in various regions of the Russian Federation, further reducing the time and cost of timber transportation.
