According to the methodology of the European Forest Accounts (EFA), the value of gross output of the forestry and logging division in Poland in 2022 amounted to PLN 36.6 billion, which was an increase in comparison with the previous year by 41.6% (in current prices). The high increase in the value of gross output, like in the value of forest land and in the value of forest stands, was mainly due to the rise in timber prices.

At the end of 2022, the area of forest land in Poland equalled 9476.9 thousand hectares and grew within a year by 9.4 thousand hectares. As a result of classification changes of non-forest land into forest land, there were 0.6 thousand hectares of forest land more, and almost 1.0 thousand hectares of forest land less due to deforestation.

Forest land area in forests available for wood supply at the end of 2022 was 9166.5 thou-sand hectares and constituted 96.7% of total forest land.
