Green Gold Forestry

What Green Gold Forestry does

Green Gold Forestry (legal entity Forest Agency Green Gold Inc., incorporated in West Virginia, USA) is a private, founder-led consulting firm founded in 2012 by Mikhail Ukhov. The company specializes in forestry-sector business consulting, offering four core services: market research on timber product and raw-material markets, business plan and feasibility study development, project expertise for functioning forestry enterprises, and promotion of investment projects to government bodies, banks, investment funds, and other financial institutions. The firm claims more than 2,300 completed market researches, 1,250+ business plans, and 3,100+ valued clients accumulated over twelve-plus years.

The firm serves three primary customer segments: large forestry holding structures requiring greenfield and brownfield investment project support, medium and small forestry businesses needing professional consulting and investment documentation, and government bodies plus financial institutions involved in regional forestry development. Its largest publicly disclosed engagement is a 2022 contract with the Administration of the Sakhalin Region to develop a forestry complex strategy and attract investors for a multi-product processing cluster (sawmill, wood pellets, CLT panels, OSB), tied to 27.569 billion RUB of planned investment and targeting Japan, South Korea, and China as end markets.

The business model is straightforward professional services consulting delivered through direct client engagement; no software platform, app, API, or proprietary technology product is offered, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The team is small and academic-heavy, including doctoral-level scientists from Moscow State Forest University and MSTU Bauman, with the founder's prior advisory role at State Corporation Rosatom lending institutional credibility. The firm operates without disclosed outside funding, subsidiaries, or parent company, and revenue, headcount, and customer concentration figures are not publicly reported.

Broad incumbents

• AFRY (formerly ÅF Pöyry): Global engineering, design, and consulting firm with a dedicated forestry and bioeconomy practice providing investment advisory, market studies, and feasibility work for pulp, paper, and timber clients. Highly comparable service mix to Green Gold but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• RISI (Resource Information Systems Inc.): Long-established provider of market intelligence and price reporting for forest products, pulp and paper. Overlaps with Green Gold's timber market research focus and investor-facing advisory, though broader in scope and digital product footprint.

Direct peers

• Wood Resources International: Independent timber and forest products market research firm producing global lumber, pulp, and biomass market reports. Comparable to Green Gold's market research service line and its 2,300+ research outputs.
• Indufor Group: Specialist forestry consulting firm providing strategic advisory, feasibility studies, due diligence, and market intelligence to forest investors, governments, and development institutions. Closely comparable niche positioning, client base, and service portfolio to Green Gold.
• Forest Economic Advisors LLC: US-based forestry economics consultancy providing timber market analysis, investment appraisals, feasibility studies, and policy advisory. Closely comparable in size, methodology, and customer profile to Green Gold's market research and business plan offerings.
• International Wood Markets Group: North American timber market research and consulting firm producing benchmark reports on lumber, pellets, and forest products. Direct overlap with Green Gold's market research and pricing intelligence services.
• ERA Forest Products Research: Forest products market research and consulting firm covering timber, pulp, bioenergy, and wood panels. Comparable consulting/market research model and is highly relevant given Green Gold's coverage of sawmill, pellets, CLT, and OSB product lines.

Emerging players

• Natural Capital Research: Specialist consultancy focused on carbon forestry, nature-based solutions, and ecosystem services advisory. Adjacent to Green Gold's stated mission around greening technologies and the founder's Climate Project Expert credentials.

Others

• Rosatom (State Corporation): Russian state-owned nuclear corporation where founder Mikhail Ukhov previously served as advisor (2009–2020). Not a peer but a strategic relationship of relevance given the firm's Russia-centric government engagement track record.
• Stora Enso (Forestry / Wood Products advisory context): Large integrated forest products company with significant in-house forestry investment and land management activities. Not a consulting peer, but a representative of the type of large enterprise customer Green Gold serves and competes to advise.
