Observations





A hectare of State forest brings in an average of 0.34 francs per year.





A hectare of parish forest also brings in 0.34 francs per year.





The low revenue is due to the low tariff for State and parish timber and the high cost of transportation.





The similar revenue for State and parish forests reflects the uniformity of timber tariffs Balkan Tours.
