In connection with elaboration of scientific project ‘Statistical study of forestry companies competitiveness’ and on the basis of the accumulated national and foreign experience a system of indicators and sub-indicators for complex quantitative assessment of forestry companies competitiveness has been offered. The proposed indicators are: competitiveness of product being offered; labor productivity; financial results; enterprise growth; market adaptability; economic realization of property of forest resources; silvicultural activities. In current paper are presented the scientific results from the verification of the offered indicators and sub-indicators reliability.1. The verification is carried out on the basis of questionnaire survey among specialists connected with forestry. The questionnaire includes two parts. Through the first one is checked the reliability of the system of indicators related with competitiveness of economic subjects that manage Bulgarian forest territories. By means of the second part is checked the reliability of the system of indicators connected with competitiveness of economic subjects engaged with timber harvesting and silvicultural activities in Bulgarian forest territories. On the grounds of the collected and processed data the initial system of indicators and sub-indicators is supplemented and improved.
