We have analyzed the structure of ownership in forestry, species composition of forests, timber trade, employment in forestry sectors and other significant indicators. Than we have focused on the situation in forestry within the whole Europe and compared it with the largest roundwood, sawnwood and woodpulp producers in the world. In the analysis we have observed some similarity between countries that we have examined. We have used the cluster analysis to verify this assumption of similarity. Main objective of the article is to explore several indicators of Slovak and Czech forestry and compare them with selected European and world countries, and obtain development trends in forestry sector for the future.
