It showed that the process of China’s forestry market-orient was going forward at an average annual rate of 1.5% and reached 44.9% in 2006, but lagged behind the rate of 25% of the national average as well as behind 15% of the agriculture during the same period. Forestry market-oriented speed is so uneven in the different provinces and regions that the provinces in the eastern region was significantly higher than the level of the western and north-central provinces in China. In the factors of influencing the forestry market-oriented process, the government behavior standardization and forest production marketing management are the most influential factors, the degree of resource marketing and market system perfection are also important factor.
