This article (the response to review) provides a commentary on the proposals of the reviewers on improving the economic system of forestry through an objective ecological and economic assessment of forests and the excess of prices for forest resources over the cost of their reproduction. It is noted that this proposal retains the right of the forest owner (state) to sell forest resources and, accordingly, consolidates the current budgetary model of forestry, based on budgeting and control of forestry costs. The article expresses the opinion about the erroneousness of judgments defining forestry in the system of economic relations as a raw material sector of the timber industry.

Key words: Forest development, rent, market and administrative pricing, timber industry, forestry and timber processing.
