Today, metal-plastic windows and metal doors seem to have supplanted wooden ones, but still progress cannot replace the beauty and comfort that wooden products are endowed with. Wood is needed everywhere: floor, chair, table, interior doors, boxes, sofa, wardrobe and others. Thus, the conclusion suggests itself that a tree is a sought-after commodity, and given that mother nature's reserves are not unlimited, forest cultivation is a promising business.
This idea may seem reckless, but I am sure that after a deeper study of the issue, you will understand its profitability.
The cultivation of valuable woody plants of forest cultures outside their natural range, which have not previously grown in the area, is called forest introduction. Many countries already have a lot of positive experience with this process.
To grow a forest, you need land and seeds (or seedlings) of trees. It depends on the composition of the soil which species of trees can be planted on the plot, it is known that, for example, pine grows well on sand, and oak prefers black soil. Thus, weighing the priorities, you first need to decide on the land, and then - with the tree species.

Land for forest planting can be bought or taken on a long-term lease. Seeds can be bought or harvested from the forest. In nature, not all seeds manage to germinate, and of those that have germinated, most do not survive until the next year: they die from a lack of moisture and nutrients, and some will also die over the next years. Thus, out of a hundred thousand seeds that have fallen to the ground, only a dozen trees can sprout. In order to avoid such losses, it is advisable to use seedlings or seedlings that were grown in forestries (special nurseries) during artificial forest cultivation. Of course, the purchase of seedlings or seedlings will require additional cash costs than planting seeds, but it is difficult to achieve rapid growth of seedlings from seeds over the entire planting area. In this case, you need to choose: either a waste of time or money.
Also, you need to take into account the cost of wages to workers. Tree planting is a seasonal job, which will involve: workers involved in the transport and preservation of seedlings, seedling planters, staff who will look after the planted trees, quality control inspectors, etc. In addition, the cost of equipment and tools: buckets, shovels for planting or landing swords, protective gloves.
Business ideas for growing forests can be different: from getting wood to selling Christmas trees. Most people cannot imagine a New Year's celebration without a live Christmas tree, and everyone knows what prices for these "winter trees" in December. By simple mathematical addition, it is possible to find out the amount of profit of this business.
Saplings (to obtain wood) are planted at a distance of 1 m from each other, then the trees will grow taller. Pine for sale, like Christmas trees, is planted a little thicker. In a year, Scotch pine grows by 15-20 cm, in about 5-7 years standard Christmas trees will grow. If we assume that about 1,500 trees grow on one hectare, we take the approximate price for a Christmas tree of 250 rubles, multiplying these figures, we get an income of 375,000 rubles. Naturally, the figure is relative, but the essence is clear. If you grow trees for timber, then you can get more income, but you will have to wait 10-15 years. For example, an oak in 10 years in good conditions can grow 3-4 meters high. From one hectare during this time, it will turn out somewhere around 1000 cubic meters. m of wood, multiply this figure by the approximate price (27 US dollars per 1 cubic meter) and get an income of 27,000 US dollars. And you can wait another 5 years and the income will be even higher.
It should be understood that growing a forest is a promising business with long-term investments, which, if you have starting cash resources and patience, will bring a good income.

How to earn a living in the village with the help of forestry? In reality, there are plenty of options.
In summer, you can start preparing bath brooms. A good broom for a bath is very expensive, but not everyone can make a really good broom. There are too many nuances to know: which branches to use; what kind of wood can be harvested; What is the best time to prepare? where such a tree should grow. But if you know the answers to all these questions, and make a high-quality broom, then there will be no price for it in the bath. And those who like to go to the bathhouse in the city, so to speak, will vanish from the bustle of the city, there will always be, and they will be happy to purchase a broom made with soul. You can sell such a broom wholesale or retail without any problems, and the prices for brooms should please any villager. If desired, for the season (end of June - mid-September), one person can prepare more than 5,000 brooms.
The most significant income will bring the collection of berries, mushrooms and medicinal herbs, while these industries are the most time-consuming. There is no need to talk about the benefits that wild berries carry. The abundance of vitamins that are present in them gives them the status of treasures of Russian forests. Here are the main berries: blueberries, strawberries, lingonberries and cranberries. You can collect them from June to September (depending on the type of berries), while they will bring the greatest income. Medicinal herbs are also in demand, which are also abundant in the forest: St. John's wort, chamomile, celandine, lime blossom. Not to mention the mushrooms. Mushrooms are extremely nutritious and rich in protein, so they must be included in the diet without fail, at least in summer. Those wishing to acquire all the above listed forest gifts can be found without problems.
In winter, when the crops are harvested on household plots, the main household chores are left behind, there is much more time, but the opportunities for earning are significantly reduced. The main activity during this period was the harvesting of birch brooms. A birch broom is by far the best tool for cleaning asphalt surfaces. The history of the broom begins from ancient times, and during all this time it has practically not changed its original appearance. A birch broom is the main tool in the janitor's arsenal. Here it is harvested and you can do it in the winter. At the same time, on the street in frost, only birch rods are cut, their subsequent processing and tying takes place already in a warm room. During the season (November-February), more than 10,000 brooms can be harvested.
So, the main forest industries were listed above, with the help of which you can earn money while living in the village. And you can do them 9 months a year.
You have decided to go into the forestry business and are at a crossroads where to start? You can get acquainted with the experience of other people who are available on the Internet, or you can try at your own peril and risk.
Let me give a few recommendations on the procedure, because. he went through all this.
1. Analyze the situation in your domestic market. Do not particularly trust the opinions of dealers who buy lumber in the "northern" regions, and then
they bring it to you. Believe me, their goal is to earn as much as possible. Sometimes their price is 2 times higher than the purchase price.
2. Call as many as possible
the number of wholesale bases located close to you in order to determine the average wholesale price prevailing in your market.
3. Go online on bulletin boards.
Do not pay attention that somewhere lumber is cheaper, and somewhere more expensive. Usually, on average in Russia, the price is the same. The price difference simply reflects the shipping cost. And the distance to you here does not matter. Even in the regions closest to you, there are areas where not a single passing truck will ever go for cargo, but about the railway. transport there was not even heard. It is in such areas that lumber is the cheapest on the spot. If you have your own vehicle, then this is the best option. If you want to have it delivered to you, then you need to look for areas where the transport infrastructure is developed, because. the board is usually delivered by passing transport, or railway. wagons. It turns out much cheaper than hiring or carrying your own cars.
4. Don't jump on the cheapest bids, it can be a lure for wiring. "Free cheese only happens in a mousetrap," don't forget that.
5. Get ready to leave for the signing of the contract. Not for the excursion, but for
see with your own eyes the production capacity of the one to whom you give
prepayment. Maybe he does not want to deceive you, but reality simply does not allow you to cut as much as you need.
5. If you decide to leave to sign the contract, then make sure that you do not limit yourself to one partner. The easiest way to find in the area where you are traveling is a person or office that is engaged in intermediary or representative activities. Let them meet you and take you to the intended partner. First, you from
they will get enough information about the person you are going to, and, secondly, in the event of a breakdown in negotiations, they will show you the entire forest market of the region, and at the same time they will give the necessary recommendations, to follow which or not it will still be up to you to decide . Believe me, on the spot they know about each other much more than anyone else.
6. For the first shipment of lumber, send a receiver or go yourself, no need
believe the words. You can just get firewood, it's better to play it safe.
How to buy lumber and at the same time reduce the risk of fraud and dishonest approach from partners. 1.
The forest business, or the business of buying and selling lumber, at first glance, is no different from any other business. But this is only an appearance. In fact, this is a very complex type of entrepreneurship associated with large financial
investments, long terms of transactions, high risks and labor investments. The terms of investing finances can stretch for years, and there may not be any profit, moreover, you can even lose your money. And this is not connected with criminals, since this business is no more criminalized than others. Everywhere there is an element of fraud and you can’t get away from it, but this is a business ..
With all the apparent ease of earning superprofits in this area, in fact,
no one succeeds. And this is connected, first of all, with the great dependence of the timber industry on external factors. This includes weather conditions, and government actions, and there is no getting away from the human factor. Only for timber merchants, in contrast to businessmen from other sectors of the economy, this becomes hypertrophied. For example, you found a seller on the ad, his board, somewhere in the Kirov region, costs 4,000 rubles per cubic meter on the spot. In your city it costs 5,500 rubles per cubic meter. You contact the transport company and find out that delivery from the Kirov region will cost you
400 rubles per cubic meter. In total, you think, the profit from the sale of a cubic meter will be 1,100 rubles. Since the truck will take at least 30 cubic meters, then if you invest 120,000 rubles, you should make a profit of 33,000 rubles. It seems that this is a good investment of finances, since in the end you will receive a 30% return on investment in a month. And this is 360%
per annum. Where is this profitability? And now a newly-minted businessman from the forest concludes an agreement, overtakes an advance payment and waits for his board. But, unfortunately, in 80% of cases the transaction either fails or stretches over time. And he will receive his car not in a month, but in the best case, in two, and even then, having personally arrived for his
lumber.
Not knowing the specifics of this business, he then begins to attribute his failure to scammers, dishonest partners, and the like. Actually it is not.
Yes, there is a chance to run into a scammer who, having received an advance payment, will simply disappear, but this is present in all business sectors, and we do not consider this here, since there are elementary precautions that must be observed in any business. We will look at the example above from the perspective of the manufacturer and the impact of external factors on a particular transaction.
The example is the same, the manufacturer posted an announcement that he sells a board for four thousand rubles from the spot. The only real thing about this ad is that if it has
today this board will be, then he will sell it today for 4000 rubles. Everything else is what they want to do. Lumber is known to be sawn from roundwood. Just like that, for the future, not a single manufacturer will buy round timber, saw it and store the finished board. At the same time, re-sorting it into varieties. This is never
sometimes it's a utopia! An inexperienced buyer, after reading the ad, assumes that this is exactly what it is. This is the first real risk factor for the forestry business.
So what, in fact, is going on with the one who posted the ad for the sale? Yes, everything is very simple. When he advertises for sale, he simply knows where to buy roundwood and where to cut it. And there is no difference with whom you conclude a supply agreement - with a manufacturer or an intermediary. Just one will do everything himself, and the other will strain others. After signing the contract and receiving an advance payment, the supplier begins to buy round timber and cut it to size. Prepayment is required for the purchase of roundwood. Usually this is in
within 30-50% of the total amount of the contract. This is where the elements of risk come into play. The roundwood supplier hasn't taken any money from you and doesn't care about your contract. He doesn't owe you anything and doesn't owe you anything. He can simply refuse your producer, sell the round timber to another, raise the price, etc. That's it, the deal is starting to drag out in time. Your partner is looking for another supplier of round timber. This may take a significant amount of time. Then the round timber was brought to the sawmill and the money for it has already been paid, which means that your prepayment has already been invested and you can’t just return it. And the quality of roundwood can only be checked by sawing it! Outwardly, of course, he will
look good, but inside ... It's a solid lottery! Naturally, the manufacturer dissolves everything and tries to sell the whole bunch of boards without sorting. And where should he go? The round timber has been bought, the money has been paid, there are simply no others. We have to drop everything! Otherwise loss. So he masks the substandard board, thrusting it into the middle of the packs or the car. But this
only one of the risks, but there are others. Let's continue - Kruglyak is bought, delivered, filed at the sawmill. They started sawing, and the frame broke. It just broke, because it is iron, and it has its own stability periods. And it’s good if the breakdown is small, for example, the slider flew. This frame will stop for a couple of days. What if the engine burned out? Everything, a month of downtime, like
minimum. And then you can’t do anything - No file, no money back. So far, only a few manufacturers of new frames use scrap metal from Soviet times, which is already breathing its last.
What is the result? The buyer, after waiting for the time specified in the contract, begins
get nervous. He starts calling the manufacturer and is very surprised that he has not yet been drunk. In the end, if the framer has a serious problem and the time frame for its solution is delayed, the manufacturer gets tired of these calls, and he, tired of explaining that he is not a camel, stops answering these calls, sincerely believing to get in touch when he eliminates
their problems. Here the buyer begins to get hysterical and, leaving everything, he goes to the seller himself. Everything is going on differently there. In some cases, the buyer simply settles in a foreign city and, having waited for his board, leaves, in others he will give up on everything, in others he starts running around the authorities, accusing him of fraud, etc. In any case, this is a big
waste of time, nerves and money.
So is it possible to avoid these risks in this business? I will answer unequivocally - NO!. They cannot be avoided. You still have to give an advance payment, because. the majority of the financial situation is such that without it they are simply not able to produce anything. It is also unrealistic to meet the deadlines, too many external factors influence this process.
But they can be minimized. And for this you do not need to put a lot of effort and money. You just need to be smart about it.
If you are going to buy lumber from a manufacturer you do not know, then
before giving him an advance payment, contact a company or person who are located in the same region so that they can analyze this transaction.
For example, our company has been supplying lumber for 12 years. We know everyone
producers, intermediaries and suppliers of round timber in the region. By agreeing with us, you can order an audit of this transaction. It is not necessary to notify the manufacturer about this. We will anonymously, on our own behalf, approach him, as if, by chance, find out his real financial situation, inspect his production, talk with the master
and workers. This will give a very real vision of the reality of its production. Further, imitating from ourselves the desire to place an order with him, we will find out from him where and from whom he purchases roundwood.
Let's talk about that too. We will also clarify its capabilities and desire to sell round timber, its prices, delivery conditions, etc. Having compared all the data, it will already be possible to draw up a real picture of the transaction. You, having received all these materials, will decide for yourself whether it is worth the risk or not. Agree, it is better to lose a small part by paying us than to risk without looking,
a large enough amount.
Also, of course, if you are a novice reseller, and when buying a board, you plan to sell it with a markup, then when concluding your contract with your buyer, take into account risk factors over time and try to include as long deadlines as possible in the contract. This will save you from unnecessary fines and penalties.
Life is a striped thing, and even more so for people employed in business. Bumps, potholes and troubles are found at every turn. It would seem that the most ordinary transaction, nothing supernatural, but suddenly, because of some trifle or an unfortunate accident, everything goes to dust, and instead of earning money, you owe a very impressive amount. And as you know, trouble does not come alone, then, most often, you are not in
be able to repay the debt in the near future.
The creditor first demands debts from you, calls, enters into correspondence, tries to
meet in person. Then, if your situation does not improve and you do not return it to him, then he begins to take more active actions. Some run to the police and write a statement about fraud, others go to court, where this issue is considered in civil order. Still others, mainly those who either do not have the necessary documents to file a case with the court, and it is not reasonable to go to the police, find professional
debt collectors, the so-called "collectors". And already they start to shake you.
I will not describe in this article legal tricks that will help you relieve tension and solve this problem. Also, I will not point out the articles of the Criminal and Civil Code that collection agencies violate in the process of collecting debts. This business of lawyers, lawyers and investigators. In the end, you can find these articles yourself on the Internet, or in reference books. I will simply give advice on how to act in the situation that has arisen from the position of an ordinary person who has fallen into an unpleasant story and is trying to solve it in a peaceful and legal way.
Consider the usual, standard situation. You took an advance payment, but could not deliver the goods on time. For the collector, it does not matter who is to blame. Either you screwed up somewhere, or the client set you up. He does not care at all, and you can understand him, because he earns money on this. Therefore, telling him that you have problems, putting pressure on pity, and so on, does not make sense. He is not interested, he is only interested in getting money out of you by any means. This is his bread!
Therefore, on the contrary, try to be frank with collectors as little as possible, complain about your difficult life, give the addresses and names of those who framed you and what you intend to do next. Don't brag about your plans for the future. None of the above will help you, but it can complicate your life! Do not forget that the core of the collection agency is a former employee of the police or prosecutor's office, and they
will treat your words quite professionally, based on the experience of previous work. All your words will be recorded and verified, because they need to collect dirt on you, with which they will put pressure on you. Therefore, do not give them extra information ever!
Now to business. From the fact that you turned out to owe something to someone, nothing in your rights
has changed! Debt is not a crime! This is not a criminal offense! Criminal liability can only come under the article fraud, but this article can only be imputed to you if, when taking money, you did not plan to pay off the creditor. That is, you just needed finances for personal needs and you tricked them into taking them from someone else. But, if you simply, due to the circumstances, do not
it turned out, and you planned to honestly complete the transaction, then this cannot be considered fraud. And it doesn't matter if it happened once or several times. It’s just that you are not a successful businessman, you don’t know how to do business, but you realized it too late. And all debts that have arisen due to the fact that you could not master the obligations you assumed are subject to
consideration only in a civil court!
It follows that you are under the protection of the criminal and civil code and no one has the right to violate your rights, invade your privacy and, even more so, threaten, use violence, or seize any property.
Now consider your actions that you should take when, when the bouncers from the collection agency drove up to you:
1. Do not let them in for negotiations in the apartment and premises belonging to you. This will help protect against the installation of unauthorized listening devices and, in general, from assessing your financial situation.
2. Go to them for negotiations yourself, but not at the time that they set for you, but when it is convenient for you. This will show them that you are not dependent on them and are not particularly afraid of them. But there is no need to hide, this can exacerbate the problem, because. they have a trump card in their hands, consisting in the fact that you are hiding from negotiations.
3. The collection agency must have a power of attorney from the creditor for the right to negotiate with you on his behalf. It must be notarized. If it is not there, then you do not see any conversations, negotiations with these people. If it exists, then, of course, they must provide you with a copy of it. Take it and let it be stored at your home, or better somewhere with friends or relatives.
4. Reduce all talk about this debt and them only to this topic. They don't need at all
know what you are currently doing, in addition to the transaction for which they have a power of attorney. And again, by proxy, they just simply represent the buyer or partner, nothing more. But you will not tell your partner about your financial affairs, what transactions you are planning, where you have current accounts, etc.
5. If the collectors have taken active steps and started by posting defamatory information about you in the media, on the Internet, etc., then feel free to sue them to demand compensation for moral and material damage. Those. if any agency, or person, has published information that you are a fraudster, then this is a reason to apply to both the police and the civil court. Even if you owe it doesn't mean that you are a scammer! Only the court can say that!
6. If they threaten you with something, threaten, frighten, then try to record everything that happens on a voice recorder and a video camera. But, even if this was not possible, then at the first incident, immediately write a statement to the police. There, describe everything honestly, attach copies of the contract, receipts, power of attorney, if any, then a photo,
audio and video recordings. The police must take care of this! If you have a suspicion that the police in your area is not dealing with this problem, then immediately write a complaint against the police to the prosecutor's office. If they volyn there, then contact the Prosecutor General's Office. In the end, write to the site to the president. There, in the case management, your complaint will be transferred to the prosecutor's office, only they will put it under control, and then no one will slow it down. Understand the more people in the know
your problem, so you are in great safety.
7. Do not write any receipts beyond those that were written at the beginning of the transaction. There and so
everything is already there for civil proceedings. Do not give collectors any property, they have no right to withdraw it. Only bailiffs can do this, and even then only by court order! If they arbitrarily seized something from your property, then immediately write a statement to the police about theft or robbery.
Well, in principle, the basic safety measures and norms of behavior in a collision with
collection agencies. Their observance will allow you to avoid many troubles, in addition to the existing ones.
By the way, precedents have already been created when the prosecutor's office got up on http://www.pravo.ru/news/view/23044/ protection of debtors from collection agencies.
And debts still need to be repaid, but only legally!
Do you want to increase sales of sawmill equipment? Then just for you For those who manufacture and sell sawmill equipment, we have a special offer that will significantly increase your sales.
In order to organize a constant and uninterrupted, year-round supply of manufacturers of furniture, moldings, high-grade finishing lumber, we have developed a business idea that in a short period of time will allow us to organize and establish such a raw material base that the problem with purchasing lime, aspen or birch boards by grade " extra" and grade 0, which is very acute for consumers, will disappear. At the same time, the price, even with a gradual return on investment, will remain relatively low compared to the price set by resellers.
Moreover, this is also true for entrepreneurs who are engaged in the production of pallets. After all, when working according to such a scheme that we offer, they will be able to receive up to 1000 cubic meters from our production. m. per month blanks for pallets.
The investment amount is relatively small, comparable to the price of 1 machine of a batch of linden or aspen boards (blank for lining and canopy). It fights off during the year, while providing you with raw materials.
Approximately the idea is painted, in more detail, with real interest, I will describe or answer by phone. Our coordinates
Lately my e-mail has been flooded with all sorts of price lists about
selling ribbons, saws, coal saws, etc., in short, everything related to sawmilling. It would be nice if they just sent their price lists, they were simply erased, and no problems. So no, they find a phone and let's call ...
Of course, I understand the managers of various manufacturers of equipment, they need to sell their products, but this is already starting to tire.
Well, I decided to give some advice and observations on how small and medium-sized sawmills change their equipment, and what they focus on when buying new machines. Maybe this will help someone!
I don’t know if I’ll tell you a secret or not, but all your price lists, scattered like a fan over e-mails that you found on bulletin boards on the Internet, in fact, cannot lead to anything positive, much less affect a small sawmiller. Everything is simpler in the forest, people use the old, folk "radio".
And it focuses on the advice of someone who already has such equipment, or is qualified enough and has weight in the "forest world" to give such advice.
After all, all your equipment, which seems to be intended for sawmilling and processing, is in fact strikingly different from each other, and not only in price. 
Think for yourself, if a person saws needles, just saws, counting on summer residents, and he absolutely does not need the geometry of the board, millimeters of tolerance, etc., then why did he screw up? An ordinary, simple tape, for a very reasonable price, is enough for him.
Further, someone focuses on export, someone on birch, someone saws linden and aspen .. So they all need completely different equipment, completely different saws, different
cutting speed ... Yes, and they build technological chains in different ways.
One simply puts a tape and a simple edge cutter, the other puts a corner cutter and he no longer needs an edge cutter, the third puts a disk frame, and he, to saw. for example, a birch, you need a gang saw.
And in your price lists this decoding is not. There is simply passport data for equipment, which indicates power, productivity, cutting height, etc.
Well, a person who decided to switch, for example, from needles to linden, goes to a neighbor who cuts linden, or calls me, because. I know how to cut linden, and asks what I need to re-profil or buy in order to get the maximum yield of finished, high-quality lumber. And now we, and not your prices, based on our experience, recommend him what and where to buy
So, here's my advice - expand your prices, write what kind of wood is best used for sawing your products., or order an article from us
We know your equipment well in reality. they themselves repeatedly launched production facilities for the guys, oriented for sawing specific products. And now we are helping interested framers in the most pragmatic way to switch from sawing needles to sawing, which is very profitable, hardwood.
In the light of this note and at the numerous requests of interested buyers, I will try to clearly explain the scheme of our work.
So, we ourselves are the processors of these products. We produce moldings at our enterprises in Perm and the Sverdlovsk Region and, of course, we are interested in ensuring that our capacities never stand idle.
Taking advantage of the fact that we have vast experience in the field of repurchases and established contacts with local manufacturers, we organized large-scale purchases of these sawn timber at small and medium-sized forestry enterprises in the Perm Territory, Udmurtia, Sverdlovsk Region, Kirov Region and the Republic of Bashkiria. This is due, first turn, with the fact that no sawmill, we know from our own experience, is not able to provide a regular supply of hardwood raw materials. This is due to many factors, in particular, problems with round timber, inability to cut linden and aspen, mentality, and so on. In short, they will either deliver or not.
So, in order to avoid downtime, we pick up on all frames, within a radius of 800 km, everything that they cut from linden, aspen and birch. We choose Grade A for ourselves, and we help them implement everything else (as a result, under our name, there are advertisements like "We are selling linden timber", or "I will sell a construction board or a blank for pallets." But where to go?
frames, having sold only a Grade A board, and without selling everything else, they will stand up and will not be able to work with anyone.
As a result, we are always provided with high-quality raw materials, but, as a result of such a large-scale campaign, we have a surplus of it. and quite impressive. And we need to take it away, otherwise the frames will quickly switch to needles and stop sawing under us. So we are forced to sell it to the side, in addition, also, and deal with the sale of Grade C, core timber, short stacks, etc.
Now to the topic.
1. We sell blanks for lining "Extra",
Grade A \ B and grade B. Dimensions 20x105x2000-3000mm and 22x115x2000-3000mm. Step 10 cm. Tolerance - 0, + 2 mm.
Material - Linden or Aspen (You can ash and oak). Sorting goes on three sides - two side and front.
2. We sell a blank for a polo. Size 34x110x2000-3000mm..
3. We sell timber linden and aspen. Size 100x100x3000mm, 100x80x3000mm, etc.
4. We sell a pallet board (construction board). Grade c (or grade 2-3)
hardwoods. Dimensions 20x105, 22x110, 22x100 length 2000 and 3000mm
5. We sell (only on order) edged lumber linden, birch, oak, ash and aspen according to your size.
Price on request. We immediately warn you - Grade A is very expensive, without bargaining. (We ourselves pick up expensively on frames, plus we have to give them advance payments, send our pickers there, and so on)
Shipment, mainly: Lipa - Perm region, Osina - Udmurtia and Kirov region, Oak - Bashkiria
We work without prepayment, but, as a result, without payment on our site, we do not ship. Those. loaded into your car, you paid 100% and we release it. Presence of your receiver on shipment is desirable!
We don't trade. We ship only what we agreed on. In the event of a desire on the part of the buyer to arrange a sorting, the transaction is terminated without continuation.
If you decide to move us and conclude a contract directly with the frame - Please,
but we, in turn, will stop the implementation of the entire departure that appears on that frame, and we will increase our purchase price for them .. We don’t wait for you to solve your problems, that is, anything can happen - "Order ordered, but with a turnover pad, or the transport was not found "So, in this case, without warning from our side, we will sell your order to another buyer, or send it to our dryer, and then you, if
excess volumes will appear.
The forest industry has always been considered a profitable area. Extraction, sale and processing of wood can bring very serious money. However, for beginners, entering this market promises a lot of problems. Sad statistics show that up to 90% of entrepreneurs who have opened one or another “forest” business close in the first year of work ...
Business BasicsThe best option with limited capital is the wholesale trade in lumber (timber). Nevertheless, the costs of starting a business, in comparison with the opening of production, are much less here and you won’t have to risk much. In some cases, you can do without start-up capital at all, if you do not take into account the costs of registering an LLC and opening a current account. The scheme of work looks classic: 1. you find a client who needs lumber 2. you take a 100% prepayment from him 3. you pay for the order from the manufacturer from the received money 4. you keep the extra charge. But there are some nuances here.
The most popular lumber: edged board (spruce / pine of the first and second grade), timber, lining and slab. The cost of the board depends on the type of wood and the scope of delivery. These are the main indicators. But the price depends on several factors. So, timber can be planed and unplaned, solid, profiled solid and glued. Solid timber is considered the most expensive, and glued - the cheapest.
In the case of edged boards, the type of wood plays an important role. Different breeds have different characteristics in terms of moisture resistance, strength, resistance to drying, and so on. The most common species are conifers (pine, spruce, larch). Very cheap lumber is obtained from pine and spruce. Boards made of oak, cedar and larch are of the greatest value.
The best clients are industrial production and construction companies. Construction companies often take boards, timber, slabs for the construction of wooden houses, baths and cottages. Among the clients are many manufacturers of furniture and pallets. Small industries buy edged boards for the manufacture of windows, floors, stairs, pallets.
How much can you earnThe minimum prices for edged boards of the first grade start from 5000 rubles. per cubic meter. At the same time, if you carefully search the Internet, you can be sure that the price for the same product (for example, edged board of the 1st grade) can differ significantly. In places rich in forests, prices will be lower due to high competition. But in the capital region and closer to the south, first-class boards ask for 6,000 rubles per cubic meter. and more. The difference of 20 - 30% is the wholesaler's income. From 100 cubic meters it turns out about 100,000 rubles.
A separate issue is the delivery of lumber. Often, in order to make good money, you have to look for suppliers thousands of kilometers away. This is where logistics plays a big role.
The best option is delivery by wagons. Up to 70 cubic meters of birch timber are included in a gondola car. The transportation service costs from 100 rubles. from the cube (depending on the distance of delivery). Prices can be obtained from the company that provides the rolling stock.
Transportation by heavy vehicles becomes relevant for small volumes and transportation over short distances, when delivery times begin to be decided. But there is one problem: the board, especially wet, is quite heavy. So, 1 cubic meter. raw pine weighs at least 0.75 tons. Therefore, a standard truck will fit no more than 27 cubic meters, although the truck will fit up to 80 cubic meters. Solution: carry only a dry board.
Organizational momentsIt is better to look for suppliers in regions rich in forest. For example, in the Kirov region. There are a lot of manufacturers, and the price level is much lower. “Be sure to study GOSTs and standards,” absolutely all industry professionals repeat. This will avoid a lot of unpleasant situations with buyers. A classic example: a client ordered a board of the first grade, and received a second or third grade (a product with completely different board quality indicators). As a result, the client is not satisfied, demands a price reduction or even a refund. And these are losses, and, above all, for the supplier. If you buy a board from an unfamiliar manufacturer, then you should personally be present at the shipment of the first batch of goods. In this case, you will see with your own eyes what is being loaded into the truck.
“There is almost no money in sawing up. It is most profitable to carry dried edged and raw unedged boards,” say participants in the professional forum forums.wood.ru. And in general, it is best to start a business with sales. This is a more correct and reliable way to start. If you have found a client, then it will not take long to calculate the logistics and approximate profit.
You can study the market for demand in many ways, even without having the status of a registered businessman. You can advertise on Avito by adding your margin to the average market wholesale price. If there are calls, then you simply write down the client's contacts and in the same way begin to look for a supplier with the most reasonable prices and terms of cooperation. And only after a sufficient number of pre-orders have been received, planning, business registration, extensive advertising and so on begins.
“For the future, it is good to have a base for warehousing and a small office at the warehouse at hand,” say market participants. This greatly expands business opportunities. Lumber can be sold by self-delivery, invite customers to the office to conclude contracts. Here the client can inspect the samples, as well as make sure that you are not a one-day company, but have your own stocks of products.
"Myths of the lumber dealer"1. Goods only after 100% prepayment. No one will get you lucky lumber with a delay. Sawmills are small industries, and they will not take risks by shipping goods on credit, they will not look for transport for you. Therefore, you find the car yourself, come to pick up the board, pay for the loading and leave. Everyone is happy.
2. Price - quality. You should not try to buy a first-class board very cheaply. Understand that a quality board of the 1st grade cannot cost less than 5000 rubles. per cubic meter. If you are offered by phone to buy a high-quality board for nothing, then this is another reason to doubt the honesty of the manufacturer. Nobody will work at a loss. It's just that you can get not the first grade, but a board from the first to the third grade. Yes, anything you want can be shipped, even ordinary firewood.
3. Production time. As a rule, they are always underestimated. Do not think that if the manufacturer promises to produce 35 cubes of board or timber for you in a week, then that is exactly what will happen. The usual tape frame according to the passport has a capacity of 5 cubic meters of lumber per shift. In reality, workers produce no more than 4 cubes. And this is not 1 grade, but from 1 to 3 grades. In fact, in a week, if you work seven days a week (which is unlikely in our villages), you will be made no more than 28 cubes.
4. Roads. When sending transport to a remote village, get ready for the fact that it can literally get stuck there. Roads in the villages exist only as guides, and no one will lay asphalt for you there.
5. Documents. Almost all owners of sawmills are ordinary individual entrepreneurs and almost all of them work on the simplified tax system. So you can not even try to look for a manufacturer that works with VAT. Many of them don't even do bookkeeping. The only paper they will issue you will be a receipt for the removal of lumber.
