Almost all certified areas with forests are state owned and they are certified according to FSC system.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) was established in 4 State forest enterprises (1 in 2006 and 3 in 2008) with a total area of 104 000 ha (0.34% of the total forest land).
Another 4 State forest enterprises are in the process of certification under FSC with a total area of about 50 000ha. All of the above mentioned certified forests are managed by the State Forestry Agency. One private wood processing company was also certified in 2006 according to FSC (2000ha). PEFC certification is still not represented in Bulgaria.
