Production of fuel wood chips as an example of supply chain reorganisation resulting from socioeconomic changes in Poland

An analysis was made of the production of fuel wood chips and associated logistics operations in the Wejherowo Forest District in the years 2000-2017. Detailed observations of the fuel chip harvesting process and an analysis of the supply chain were made in the context of socioeconomic changes. In addition, the total cost of production was calculated and the price of 1 m3 of fuel chips in the years 2009-2017 was analysed. As a result of socioeconomic changes, seven variants of the forest fuel chip supply chain were observed in the years analysed. The unit production cost of forest fuel chips was 25 USD per m3. The average price of 1 m3 of forest fuel chips in the analysed period was 30 USD.
