The State Forests reported excellent results despite the ongoing pandemic, which significantly impacted the State Forests functioning. Józef Kubica, the State Forests director-general attributes this to the hard work of foresters and the costs reductions.

The total costs amounted to over PLN 8 billion - 91.6%. of the plan (PLN 8.8 billion). The gross financial result for the whole of 2020 was PLN 515.5 million (net: PLN 487.6 million). In 2019, the gross result amounted to PLN 439.4 million.  Initially, the National State Forests’ profit was planned to reach approx. PLN 178.7 million.

- Thanks to the involvement of foresters and their responsibility in difficult economic conditions made it possible for our company to generate savings, at the same time to fulfil contractual obligations and strengthen the condition of Polish forests - comments Józef Kubica, acting general director of LP. - The dynamics of forestry services outsourced to external entities was also maintained at a high level, these include new tree planting and the maintenance of young forests.
