“…Deforestation has been further increased by wooden forest products trade activities, which put pressure on global forest resources [13,14]. Most of the research on the trade competitiveness of wooden forest products is based on trade flow [15][16][17][18][19]. They use these indicators to measure trade competitiveness.…”

The research on international trade competitiveness is progressing continuously. Environmental factors have been gradually considered in the competitiveness of international trade. However, the green assessment system of international trade competitiveness is not perfect. Building a model based on the trade economy is complex. This study combines environmental pollution data based on the forest processing industry with trade flows. Environmental trade competitiveness, pollution treatment, and trade scale were selected as the three criterion levels to construct an assessment system. The weight and score of each index were calculated by the overall entropy method. The overall entropy method is more comprehensive than the traditional entropy weight method due to introduce longitudinal comparisons of time and category. This method is a dynamic evaluation model with analysis of three-dimensional sequential data tables. The use of this method enables the assessment model to analyze more comprehensively the green level of a country’s trade in wooden forest products in terms of time and product category. The green level of chemical wood pulp and sawn timber trade in China is at a high level. The pollution treatment and trade scale of chemical wood pulp and sawn timber attained a medium level of matching. The trades in particle board, hardboard, newsprint, carton board, and wrapping paper are at medium levels of green. The trades in medium density fiberboard and plywood have poor levels of green and need to improve their green production capacity. It is suggested that China should increase investment in scientific research, as well as establish policies to restrict and treat pollution in the industry of wooden forest products, while increasing the export volumes of products with high added value. China should attach importance to the pollution resulting from the manufacture of wooden forest products. The state should support policies for these producers reducing production emissions.

Management of the competitiveness of the regional forestry sector is defined by social, economic, environmental, institutional and other factors as an impact on the regional forestry sector and its actors in order to create and strengthen competitive advantages in the domestic and foreign markets, to maintain the integrity and sustainable development of the sector, reflected in the indicators that characterise the state of competitiveness. The availability and condition of forest capital is studied on a time-discounting basis, taking into account factors such as forest maturity and logging turnover. Based on the strategic level of forest capital competitiveness, the degree of implementation of the forest capital competitiveness strategy is determined in two ways: a) forest capital competitiveness based on traditional technologies; b) forest capital competitiveness based on innovations. To assess the competitiveness of forest capital, it is proposed to use the indicator "Estimated incremental value of forestry capital". In the authors' opinion, the calculation of this indicator should be defined as the ratio of financial flow in the form of the sum of net profit and depreciation to the value of assets. The proposed author's approach makes it possible to estimate innovation resources, the application of which will make it possible to identify priority areas of innovative growth of the timber industry complex and select priority areas of its innovative development.
