Formation of costing items as a basis for pricing forestry products

Abstract

The relevance of the study of the formation of costing items of forestry products is due to the need to ensure cost transparency, efficient use of resources and optimization of pricing in the context of sustainable development. Costing is an important stage in the formation of a pricing strategy, since the correct calculation of costs contributes to the competitiveness of products, the economic efficiency of enterprises and the sustainable development of forest ecosystems.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the process of forming the costing items of forestry products, to identify the key factors that affect pricing in the industry, and to determine approaches to cost optimization to improve the economic efficiency of forestry enterprises.

The study used methods of analytical calculation, comparison and classification of costs. In particular, the methods of product costing (direct calculation method, normative method), as well as financial analysis methods were used to assess the cost efficiency at each stage of forestry activities.

The results of the study showed that the correct determination of production costs is an important factor for ensuring the competitiveness of forestry and maintaining environmental standards. It has been established that in order to achieve accurate results in cost calculations, it is necessary to introduce a clear distinction between direct and indirect costs, as well as to use modern technologies to monitor the condition of crops and control costs.

Conclusions. The correct formation of costing items of forestry products is the basis for stable pricing and economic security of enterprises. Taking into account all costs at different stages of forestry activities allows for a more accurate assessment of production costs, which in turn contributes to the efficiency of financial and production processes. Cost optimization, as well as the use of modern technologies to control production processes, can reduce costs and improve the competitiveness of products.
