3 Summary of main research findings Summary of main research findings The Rasina District occupies central parts of Serbia. The district encompasses City of Kruševac and 5 other municipalities - Varvarin, Trstenik, Ćićevac, Aleksandrovac and Brus. The Toplica District occupies southern parts of Serbia. The district encompasses municipalities Prokuplje, Blace, Kuršumlija and Žitorađa. Aleksinac Municipality is located in the Nišava District in south-eastern part of Serbia. Raška Municipality is located in the Raška District in south-western part of Serbia. All those cities and municipalities have been at the focus of this research. The objective of the assignment was to identify wood processing facilities in the City of Kruševac and 11 designated municipalities and respective availability of wood residuals for fueling planned local biomass District Heating Centers (DHCs). In researched region total of 61 wood processors have been identified and surveyed. Number of additional unregistred small sawmills have been taken into account. They especially play important role in the region along Kosovo border, where illegal cross-border trade is present. A number of them did not want to take part in the survey, prefering to stay of the record. Those who have closed their plants were also considered as indication of the consolidation process in wood processing industry that is going on in the region and in whole Serbia. In addition, Serbian law allows small entrepreneurs to temporarily close their businesses, up to one year. This makes a number of small seasonal family-owned sawmills not easy to track. Identified wood processing industry links as well as the collected data showing total volume of processed wood and produced wood residuals clearly demonstrate that Kuršumlija and Kruševac are two main concentration points for the wood processing industry. Kuršumlija is the one single municipality with the highest biomass potential, included forested areas and their annual increment (wood mass growth on annual basis). This distribution of the biomass Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 3

4 Summary of main research findings potential and wood industry is also translated in the produced quantities of wood residuals. Figure 1 shows the quantities of produced wood residuals per municipality. The wood processing industry has been, in recent years, advancing the most in the Kruševac, Kuršumlija and Varvarin municipalities. Over the researched period, the prices of wood residuals have been growing nominally, expressed in RSD. However, the prices converted in have remained rather stable. It is to be expected that prices will follow the increasing trend over the next years because of the development of the demand side including mini pellet and briquette production facilities, as well as the expected finalization of wood biomass based district heating centers, with project on-going in Kruševac. However, investment in forest infrastructure (e.g. access roads and machinery) and occasional large-scale ice breaks could bring prices down in the mid-term, changing the trend of long-term incremental increase of wood residual prices. Figure 1: Produced average quantity of wood residuals (rmᶾ/a) per municipality Note: raum meters Research showed that the companies engaged in wood processing are specialized in this field so that the largest number of companies in addition to the primary wood processing produces some semi-finished or final products. It is about a maximum utilization of raw materials for Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 4

5 Summary of main research findings their drying kiln, heating boilers, production of briquettes and pellets. The transportation fleet almost doesn t exist within wood processing companies so they have signed contacts with the other companies related to the transport of raw material and finished products. Total Raw material input in the studied area has been mᶾ, and total quantity of produced wood residuals rmᶾ ( rmᶾ placed on the market and rmᶾ for internal use). According to our estimate based on the consistent information we got from interviews, there are approximately 20% more wood residuals produced, which are not registered in the books. Residuals remaining in the forest have not been taken into account. Taking into account legal requirements for substantial part of the residuals to remain in the forest, current forest exploitation practices, configuration of terrain and the level of development of the forest infrastructure in the area; we estimate that between 25,000 and 30,000 rmᶾ/a of residuals could be collected in the forests. Adding up all the sources wood processing industry, including unregistered and seasonal processing as well as accessible and surplus forest residuals, we estimate that there is in total rmᶾ of wood residuals available in the region see Table 1. Table 1: Annual average available wood residuals in studied 12 municipalities in target region Wood Residual Availability rmᶾ Wood processors Production On market Internal use Unregistered production estimate (20%) Accessible forest residuals estimate app TOTAL It is important to note that the supply side production of wood residuals was researched. Therefore, wood processing companies that only consume wood residuals (demand side) such as wood pellet plants were not taken into account, as their processing of wood residuals consumption cannot be added to the production part. Similarly, with companies that bought produce wood residuals themselves, but who also buy up residuals from other companies Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 5

6 Summary of main research findings throughout the region, only the part they produce (supply) themselves was taken into account in order to avoid duplication. Around 90% wood used by wood processors is from this region and smaller part is being sold to other regions or abroad (e.g. to Kronospan Serbia in Lapovo). Based on the geographic characteristics of these regions, as well as on the existing wood processing industry and the way forestry administration is set-up in Serbia; for the purpose of this research we can identified 4 different areas: South-western part, with wood processing plants concentrated around National Park Kopaonik and Raška Municipality and parts of Brus Municipality belongs here. Northern Part concentrated around Forest Administration Kruševac and includes the City of Kruševac and municipalities Brus, Aleksandrovac, Trstenik, Ćićevac and Varvarin. Southern and South-eastern Part concentrated around Forest Administration Kuršumlija and includes municipalities Kuršumlija, Prokuplje and Blace. Eastern Part concentrated around Forest Administration Niš including municipality s Žitorađa and Aleksinac. Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 6

7 Summary of main research findings In recent years, there has been consolidation of the wood processing sector in the region. Similar like in other regions of Serbia, many smaller sawmills have been closed or were taken over by larger companies which extended their activities and in addition to the primary wood processing starting to get engaged in the production of wood semi-finished and finished wood products and wood pellet. Also, wood processing plants and facilities are increasingly being concentrated on the main roads and in the lower regions. Because of unfavorable weather conditions facilities that are higher-up in the mountains have to be closed during the winter months. SWOT analysis, in table below outlines Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for the wood residuals production and availability on the market in targeted regions. Table 2: SWOT Analysis STRENGTHS Abundance of forests and increasing biomass stock Sizable amounts of produced wood residuals. Wood processors also have transportation potential trucks and other vehicles are available Openness for expanding business ties on the side of wood processors Increasing cross- border wood trade good geographical location and transport connections (highway E75 and railways) OPPORTUNITIES Huge untapped potential especially in private forests. Local municipalities are conducting projects of fuel switch of district heating from fossil fuels to wood chips (Kruševac) Joint approach to larger biomass customers, such as Kronospan Serbia or District heating centers. WEAKNESSES Hilly terrain and lack of infrastructure (access roads) in forests. Lack of access to finance Dependence on major raw material suppliers Seasonality of production, especially in higher mountain`s areas. THREATS Family-sized companies are often dependent on the personal fortunes of the single owner Disloyal competition from illegal loggers Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 7

10 Regional Overview and Data Analysis National forests in Serbia are managed by state-owned companies Srbijašume, Vojvodinašume and by National Parks. Around 50% of all forests in Serbia are private forests. This percentage is increasing due to the on-going restitution process. Forests in the target regions are managed by branches of Srbijašume, based in Kruševac, Kuršumlija, Raška and Aleksinac and by National Park Kopaonik, with headquarters at Suvo Rudište in Raška. Forest Economy Kruševac includes Forest Administrations Kruševac, Brus, Aleksandrovac, Trstenik and Ražanj. Total area under forests in those municipalities covers ha, with total volume of mᶾ, on average 224,16 mᶾ/hа. Annual increase of biomass volume is ,40 mᶾ, on average 5,8 mᶾ/hа. There are ha of private owned forests on this territory. Forest Economy Kuršumlija includes Forest Administrations Kuršumlija, Prokuplje and Blace. State forests in those municipalities covers ha, with total volume of mᶾ, on average 188,70 mᶾ/hа. Annual increase of biomass volume is mᶾ, on average 5,3 mᶾ/hа. There are ha of private owned forests on this territory. Forest Administrations Aleksinac has ha under forests, with total volume of mᶾ, on average 205,92 mᶾ/hа. Annual increase of biomass volume is ,90 mᶾ, on average 5,7 mᶾ/hа. Forest Administrations Raška has ha under forests, with total volume of mᶾ, on average 119,85 mᶾ/hа. Annual increase of biomass volume is ,20 mᶾ, on average 3,7 mᶾ/hа. Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 10

11 Regional Overview and Data Analysis National park Kopaonik covers ha within the municipalities Raška and Brus (surface ratio 80% to 20%). Under forest is ha from which 350,22 ha is privately owned. Average biomass volume is 341 mᶾ/hа and average annual increase of biomass volume is 6,71 mᶾ/hа.

We have identified wood residuals sold on the market by type, and we have also identified the quantity of internally used wood residuals. The sold and internally used quantities add up to make total quantity of residuals. The most available wood residuals on the market are slabs and sawdust as it can be seen in the Figure 5 and is shown in detail in Table 7.

Therefore residuals make 48% or a total of rm 3. In addition, Simpo ŠIK directly inputs additional m 3 of firewood for production of plywood and hardboard. This lowers the total residual production in relation to the total wood utilization by the company. Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 14

15 Rasina District Kruševac, Trstenik, Aleksandrovac, Brus, Ćićevac and Varvarin 2. Rasina District Kruševac, Trstenik, Aleksandrovac, Brus, Ćićevac and Varvarin The relief of the Rasina region is dominated by lowlands of Kruševac and Aleksandrovac basins surrounded by mountains of different heights. However, regional roads are in good condition. This region is close to the highway E75 and to railway cargo terminals. Forest access roads are not in good condition and the maintenance is often inadequate and where large portion of forests on difficult terrains is inaccessible. City of Kruševac is administrative center of Rasina District and it is situated on the crossroads between other towns of the region. Distances are not great, not greater than 45 km between the towns, often less than 30 km. This satisfies the most economic sourcing expectations. The greatest distance in the region is between Brus and Varvarin, which is 71 km 1.

Sparrow LLC. is specialized in the production of wooden pellets. The location of the plant is in Varvarin. Based on the production technology and capacity, Sparrow LLC is the leading producer of wooden pellets in the Region of Balkans, using the latest equipment. Technical Capacity of the plant is 10-12t per hour. Raw material is ensured for a calendar year in accordance with annual sales and production plan, based on the annual contract with public supplier Srbijašume. Due to the financial problems the factory is not utilizing its potential and is a target for take-over. Wood processing company Moca LLC is located in Jablanica village 20 km away from Kruševac. It was founded in 1920 and over time from the carpentry workshop it developed into a wood processing plant. During this period, four generations of one family worked on creating and maximizing the family business. Since 1991, it became the company and today Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 16

17 Rasina District Kruševac, Trstenik, Aleksandrovac, Brus, Ćićevac and Varvarin has a strong and stable production of elements obtained by processing beech. Company employs 70 workers. This concept has been proven successful, and now the entire production is based on exports to Europe, Asia and Africa, according to the orders of known customers. Since 2009, this company has been certified for the manufacture of wooden elements. Company for consulting and management in forestry - Fornet LLC from Belgrade has leased the wood processing plant in Ćićevac from a company Simpo Vranje. This is one of the most important wood processing plants in this region with production of m 3 of beech and oak. Municipality of Brus is part of NP 'Kopaonik', however it does not have developed wood processing industry. Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 17

18 Toplica District Prokuplje, Kuršumlija, Blace and Žitorađa 3. Toplica District Prokuplje, Kuršumlija, Blace and Žitorađa The Toplica District is hilly region consisting of Toplica-Kosanica basin surrounded by mountains of different heights. Regional roads are in good condition. Less so are the forest access roads, where the maintenance is often inadequate and where large portion of forests on difficult terrains is inaccessible. This region is in vicinity of highway E75. Prokuplje is administrative center of Toplica District and it is situated on the crossroads between other towns. Distances are not great, not greater than 35 km between the towns. This satisfies the most economic sourcing expectations. The greatest distance in the region is between Kuršumlija and Žitorađa, which is 50 km 2.

19 Toplica District Prokuplje, Kuršumlija, Blace and Žitorađa The most significant wood processor in whole target area is Simpo ŠIK LLC. It was founded in 2010 as a part of the company Simpo a.d. Vranje. Simpo ŠIK has signed the contract of business technical cooperation with ŠIK Kopaonik a.d. in restructuring and the Rental Contract for mobile and immobile property of ŠIK Kopaonik in restructuring for the period of 20 years. In only few months, Simpo has managed to restart the production in completely ruined former wood industry giant, ŠIK Kopaonik. Production facilities were reconstructed, wetforming machine was modified and modernized, press was overhauled, chambers for heating and conditioning were repared, the computer system for monitoring and control of entire hardboard production process was installed. Two new boilers were bought, 14 km of steampipes was built and heating in the solid wood elements, plywood, hardboard and parquet factories was made functional. Facility for waste water processing was reconstructed and modernized, and now it is the biggest such facility within wood processing industry in the West Balkans. Today, the production is organized in sawmill, plywood factory, parquet factory, solid wood factory, hardboard factory and painted hardboard factory. The company Simpo ŠIK from Kursumlija at its sawmill cuts annually m 3 of beech logs with the percentage of utilization of 52%. Therefore residuals make 48% or a total of rm 3. In addition, Simpo ŠIK directly inputs additional m 3 of firewood for production of plywood and hardboard. This lowers the total residual production in relation to the total wood utilization by the company. Rasina and Toplica Districts and Aleksinac and Raška Municipalities Wood Processors 19

20 Toplica District Prokuplje, Kuršumlija, Blace and Žitorađa The basic assortment consists of: hardboard (raw and painted), beech sawn timber, plywood (raw and waterproof), beech elements and parquet, which are produced according to quality standards SPRS ISO 9001:2008. Products of Simpo ŠIK are present on the Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia, Croatia, Montenegro, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Netherlands, Romania and Hungary markets, and the plan is to expand to the markets of other European countries. Municipality of Žitorađa is primarily one agricultural municipality. It does not have neither substantial forested areas nor wood processing industry.

21 Raška Municipality 4. Raška Municipality Area of the Raška Municipality is extremely mountainous, since 88% of the territory is above 500 m above sea level. In this area there is the highest peak of the Kopaonik National Park (2.017 m) and Golija Mountain. Regional roads are in good condition. Less so are the forest access roads, where the maintenance is often inadequate and where large portion of forests on difficult terrains is inaccessible. Raška municipality is situated in southwestern Serbia, in the middle of the Raška District and 80 km from Kraljevo, regional administrative center. Table 13: Distances in the Raška District (km) Municipalities km Raška - Kraljevo 80 Raška - Vrnjačka Banja 83 Raška - Novi Pazar 21 Raška Tutin 54 Source: Google Maps Considering transportation fleet of wood processors there is only 4 trucks with total tonnage of 96 t.
