摘要：Competitiveness of Swiss public forest enterprises is hampered by the fact that there is,
by and large, little economic dependence on timber and wood production. Crossfinancing
and alternative or other sources of income are more important. Private forest
enterprises do well if they are big enough to be economically viable. High level of
wages and the low prices in the forest and timber market as compared to other countries
is a limiting factor to entrepreneurship. The uncertain development of the forestry sector
is not a rewarding perspective for the younger generation to embark on the
establishment of forest enterprises. Other sectors of the economy offer better economic
alternatives to entrepreneurs. Innovations in the forestry sector bear high uncertainties
of success and profit. Externalities of the societal demands in the spheres of recreation,
landscape aesthetics and climatic services are taken for granted and are likely not be
adequately compensated in future.
