In the European region, approximately 40 percent of the increment is utilized (MCPFE, Oslo 2011), thus suggesting that wood harvests could be increased sustainable. The value of wood assortments sale depends on a number of elements: volume and structure of production of net wood mass according to the sorts of wood, technical, quality and thickness structure, supply and demand on the domestic and foreign markets, type of sale, place of delivery, quality of treatment and measurement, level and intensity of state regulation of commodity flow and domestic prices of wood assortments, exchange rate, etc. The paper will analyse the significance and interaction of forestry in the region, like growing stock and annual cut per assortments and wood processing industry production in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia in added value chain.
