- exports of the forest complex increased by 2.7 times to 2.3 billion dollars, its share in the total export volume of the Republic of Belarus increased by 1.9 times (from 3.7% to 6.9%).

The best result was obtained for chipboard and wood-fiber boards. Their exports increased by 5.3 times to 533 million dollars.
A significant increase was provided by enterprises of the pulp and paper industry. In 2019 alone, they increased production by 44% compared to 2018. Exports of products from this sector increased by 23.8% in 2019.
