Abstract:
The aim of the article is to calculate the weighted average of economic efficiency of using forestry fund lands in the context of natural and climatic conditions. Based on the results of the analysis of profitability of using forestry fund lands in the context of natural and climatic zones of Ukraine, it can be concluded that a positive profit indicator is observed in most of the forest-steppe zone, Polissia and the Carpathians, except for the Volyn (-94.1 UAH / ha), Kharkiv (58.2 UAH / ha) and Lviv (-40.2 UAH / ha) regions. It should be noted that in the steppe climatic zone a negative level of economic efficiency of using forestry fund lands is observed, the only exception is the Kirovograd region with the net profit of 41.8 UAH / ha. To average the indicators of efficiency of using forestry fund lands in the natural and climatic zones, we used the weighted average (arithmetic mean). With the help of the mentioned above arithmetic mean, we calculated the weighted average indices of efficiency of using forestry fund lands in the context of climatic zones, in particular, weighted average cost per 1 ha of forest lands, UAH / ha; weighted average gross income per 1 ha of forest lands, UAH / ha; weighted average profit per 1 ha of forest land, UAH / ha; weighted average profit per 1 ha of forest lands (based on the area of the region), UAH / ha; weighted average profitability of 1 ha of forest lands,%; weighted average administrative costs for forestry per 1 ha of forest lands, UAH / ha.

Keywords: natural and climatic zones, land use efficiency, forestry fund lands, weighted average.
