Foreword by the Minister of Forestry, Republic of Indonesia

We extend our gratitude to God the Almighty who has bestowed the Indonesian people with abundant

forest resource that we can utilize for our prosperity. God has tasked us to properly manage and maintain the

resources so that the forest benefi t could fl ow sustainably, not only for present generation, but also for our children

and grand children in the future.

Forest Industry Restructuring, particularly timber industry, is one of fi ve key programs I launched in the

Ministry of Forestry for the period of 2004 – 2009. It is certainly a short period of time, but we have to strive for the

best. Human is in loss, if today is the same or not be better than yesterday; and human is even lost when today is

worst than yesterday.

With my short appointment period, it is diffi cult to experience the result of forest industry restructuring

eff orts. But most importantly, we have a genuine, good intention and the sense of togetherness of all stakeholders

on common vision, mission, target and objectives to be achieved in the forest industry restructuring process. This

is a building block to reach effi cient forest industry, supported by sustainable supply of raw material, produce the

most value added products, and can compete in the global market. For this purpose, I asked the Forest Industry

Revitalization Working Group to prepare this document so that it would be of the main reference to achieve the

forest industry goal in the near future.

I invite our colleagues, forestry practitioners, business actors, academics, policy makers at all level of the

governments and communities to review, analyze and implement this document in accordance to their specifi c

condition. With our strong intention and good will, we hope that we can reap the benefi ts in not a very distance

future. As with people with illness, the forest industry needs a remedy to be recovered and keeps healthy. I hope

the recommended strategy and the follow up actions laid out in this document can be of the medicine to cure such

illness.

Finally, I would like to thank the Forest Industry Revitalization Working Group who works very hard

in fi nalizing and completing this document. I sincerely hope that this document can bring improvements for the

betterment of Indonesia’s forest industry in the future.

Foreword

We give our thanks and praise to God the Almighty for the completion of this paper. After a year of hard

work involving weekly meetings with key practitioners, fi eld trips, two workshops and involvement in forestry

associations’ road map preparations for the development of four forestry industries (plywood, wood working, pulp

& paper and furniture), the Forestry Industry Revitalization In-house Expert Working Group has fi nally succeeded in

compiling this paper from the outcomes of all these activities.

This paper would not have been possible without the moral and material support of everyone involved.

Therefore, we wish to extend our deepest thanks to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Forestry. We would also

like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the Director General of Forestry Production Development for all his

support. We also extend our thanks to donor organizations, particularly the European Union, The World Bank and

MFP-DfID, for providing facilities for the working group. We would also like to thank the forestry associations APHI,

APKINDO, ISWA, BRIK, ASMINDO and APKI for all their eff orts, from routine discussions to their preparations of road

maps. Finally, we wish to express our utmost appreciation to all members of the working group for their undying

dedication. Hopefully all of our devotion will secure the blessing of almighty God.

As the proverb says, there is no such thing as uncracked ivory. We feel what is presented here remains

insuffi cient, so on behalf of the working group we apologise for all shortcomings, and will gratefully accept any

input, comments, suggestions, responses and constructive criticism for creating competitive and sustainable wood

processing industries in Indonesia in the future.

Finally, we hope this writing will be of benefi t to us all.

I. Introduction

Rapid developments in the timber industry, with its vital role in securing foreign exchange and economic

development, have led to complex issues for the government and the people of Indonesia. Diminishing supplies

of raw materials from natural forests, the low development realization rate of pulpwood and lumber industrial forest

plantations (HTI), and production ineffi ciencies have all caused a decline in forest product production leaving many

wood processing companies with fi nancial losses and debts. Some of these companies are suspected of consuming

illegal timber from natural forests in their production processes. Consequently, not only are future supplies of round

wood for the timber industry under threat, but environmental destruction from deforestation and forest degradation

is becoming increasingly severe.

This shows Indonesia’s weaknesses in failing to utilise its comparative advantages as a tropical country,

particularly in making the most of forest plantation productivity, which should be far higher than in non tropical

countries. Furthermore, environmental problems and confl icts have increased as a result of scarce forest resources,

and declines in forest environmental services and biodiversity. Meanwhile, illegal loggers and consumers of illegal

timber continue to enjoy alluring profi ts, while the public have to bear the brunt of the extensive negative impacts

resulting from environmental degradation.

The Ministry of Forestry and other stakeholders realise that timber industry raw material requirement

discrepancies and continuous illegal logging are major obstacles to forestry industry revitalization. The future of

Indonesia’s timber industry will depend on the successful development of forest plantations. In some regions

there is ample potential for involving poor communities in forest plantation development, either in state forests or

on private land. However, forest plantation development will undoubtedly face numerous challenges, including

landuse confl icts and issues relating to land utilisation permitting processes to ensure the legality of Indonesian

forest products sold in the international marketplace.

The Ministry of Forestry is aware of these highly serious and complex issues and has established fi ve policy

priorities for the forestry sector1. In connection with the second priority - revitalization of the forestry sector - forestry

industries in particular, and the fourth priority - empowering community economies in and around state forest areas

- the government plans to accelerate the development of industrial forest plantations and has set a target of 5

million hectares by 2009. The Ministry of Forestry has also set an additional target of developing 5.4 million hectares

of community forest plantations between 2007 and 2016.

In 2005, the Ministry of Forestry formed a working group tasked with synthesising the latest studies

on forestry industry restructuring. The group subsequently recommended strategies covering three stages: the

restructuring stage, the re-engineering stage and the revitalization stage. In the fi rst stage – restructuring – attention

is focused on forest plantation intensifi cation and extensifi cation, eradicating illegal logging and illegal trading,

resolving the question of the debt-ridden timber industry, developing alternative sources of timber raw materials,

and temporarily limiting timber industry production to levels that can be supported by sustainable timber supplies.

In the second stage, attention will focus on the adaptation of wood processing technology and investment in

1 The fi ve forestry sector policy priorities: (1) Eradicating forest timber theft and the illegal timber trade, (2) Revitalising the

forestry sector, particularly the forest industry, (3) Rehabilitating and conserving forest resources, (4) Empowering community

economies in and around the state forests, and (5) Consolidation of state forests.

wood processing machines in order to utilize an increased supply of sustainable timber and meet the demand for

new, high-quality products. The adaptation of processing technology will focus on machines with the capacity to

process small-diameter wood from fast-growing species, while producing more varied and higher value added

products, and not merely wood-based commodities like sawnwood and plywood. In the third stage – revitalization

– attention will be paid to maintaining or improving the timber industry’s competitiveness and effi ciency. During

this period, Indonesia’s forest product industries will very probably develop and create many new jobs due to an

abundance of forest plantations with fast-growing species. This three-stage strategy off ers a vision of Indonesia’s

forestry industry in the future, which can certainly be achieved through policy intervention and management and

should begin right away.

In an eff ort to realise these targets, the Ministry of Forestry established the Forest Industry Revitalization

In-house Experts Working Group in June 2006, tasking it with discussing a policy framework for forestry sector

revitalization and consulting with stakeholders to prepare forestry sector revitalization policies. The In-house Experts

Working Group subsequently carried out a number of activities, including: (1) Holding discussions with stakeholders;

government agencies, timber company businessmen, forestry associations, non-governmental organizations and

academics, (2) Conducting fi eld trips to several HPHTI and IUPHHK forest plantations, some community forest

locations, as well as a number of timber companies, and (3) Presenting two workshops in Jakarta; one entitled

“Timber Raw Material Supplies for Indonesia’s Timber Industry” was organized in the Twin Plaza Hotel on the 12 and

13 October 2006, and the other “Indonesian Timber industry” was held in Hotel Santika on the 19 and 20 December

2006. In addition, the In-house Experts Working Group was actively involved in preparing wood processing industry

road maps with the working groups (WG) for Woodworking, Furniture, Panel Wood, and Pulp and Paper established

by the Directorate General of Forestry Production Development (BPK).

The Road Map for the Revitalization of Indonesia’s Forest Industry was prepared based on the activities of

the In-house Experts Working Group outlined above. This paper presents an illustration of the current state of the

timber industry and availability of timber supplies from various sources, problems confronting the timber industry in

the provision of log supplies now and in the future, objectives, targets, strategies, policies, and necessary action plans

for bringing about a healthy and competitive wood-based industry, which produces high added value products,

creates job opportunities and relies on legal and sustainable supplies of logs from a number of sources.

II. The Current State of Indonesia’s Timber industry

The past Government forestry industry policies2 have resulted in rapid growth (Figure 1) and structural

changes (Figure 2) in Indonesia’s timber industry between 1980 and 2005. Sawnwood production rose sharply

from 4.8 million m3 in 1980 to 7.1 million m3 in 1985, peaking at 10.4 million m3 in 1989, and then falling sharply to

4.3 million m3 in 2005 (FAO, 2006). Plywood and veneer production showed a similar sharp rise from 1 million m3 in

1980 to 8.3 million m3 in 1990, peaking at 9.7 million m3 in 1997, and subsequently falling to 4.7 million m3 in 2005

(FAO, 2006). Pulp production increased rapidly from 0.5 million tons in 1989 to 3.1 million tons in 1997, and reached

5.4 million tons in 2005 (APKI, 2005). In addition to these major forest products, total production estimates for other

forest products such as woodworking timber, blockboard, particle board and wood chips ranged from 0.1 million

m3 to 2.3 million m3 in the 1983 to 2005 period (MoF, 2006 and FAO, 2006).

The installed capacity utilization rate for the sawnwood industry rose from 86% in 1980 to 97% in 1989,

and then fell sharply to 41% in 2005. The installed capacity utilization rate for the plywood industry increased from

51% in 1980 to 99% in 1997, before falling sharply to 42% in 2005. These trends show a very real increased round

wood defi cit for the sawnwood and plywood and veneer industries as of 1997. This meant assets invested in these

two industries could not be utilized properly. Meanwhile, the installed capacity utilization rate for the pulp industry

continued to rise from 65% in 1989 to 85% in 2005. Installed capacity utilization rates for the timber industry in the

1987 to 2005 period are shown in Figure 3.

2 An incremental ban on round wood exports began in 1980 and was completed by 1985; high export tax on sawnwood was

applied from November 1989; revocation of the round wood export ban and its replacement with a prohibitive export tax

on round wood began in June 1992; and export tax on round wood was reduced to a maximum of 10% before the end of

December 2000 and 0% in 2003 (Manurung, 2002).

During the 1980 to 2005 period, the timber industry contributed signifi cantly to foreign exchange earnings,

gross domestic product, state revenue, and employment. The export value of forest timber products3 fl uctuated

during the 1980 to 2005 period and reached its peak of US$ 6.24 billion (17.8% of export value for industry goods

or 11.7% of the total value of exports) in 1997 when the export value of plywood reached its peak as well, and there

were signifi cant contributions from pulp and paper and wooden furniture. The export value of forest products

subsequently fell as a result of the economic crisis, and by 2005 the value had dropped to US$ 5.41 billion (9.7% of

export value for industry goods or 6.3% of the total value of exports) (Central Statistics Agency, 2006). Simangunsong

(2004) showed that although the export value of forest products continued to rise during the 1980 to 1997 period,

their contribution to the export value of industry goods continued to decline at the same time, thus indicating

slower growth in the timber industry compared to overall industrial growth. Further, by 2002, the export value of

pulp and paper had exceeded that of plywood signifying a considerable change in the composition of Indonesia’s

timber industry exports.

Forestry sector contributions to gross domestic product ranged from 1.7% to 3.1% during the 1993 to 2005

period. These fi gures are higher than the Asian average of 1.1% (FAO, 2005). State revenue in the form of non-tax

earnings such as HPH Concession License Fees (IHPH), Reforestation Funds (DR) or Reforestation Guarantee Funds

(DJR), and Forest Product Royalties (IHH) or the Performance Bond (PSDH) in the 1993 to 2004 period ranged from

Indonesian Rupiahs (IDR) 1.16 trillion to IDR 3.37 trillion (or between 0.76% and 1.73% of total state revenue). The

number of people currently employed directly in the forestry industry sector is estimated at between 500 and 600

thousand. This fi gure would be far higher if all those employed in the woodworking, small-scale sawnwood, particle

board, fi breboard and wooden handicrafts industries were taken into account.

Based on the above timber product realization fi gures, total logs consumption for timber industry rose

sharply from 11.7 million m3 in 1980 to 24.1 million m3 in 1985, and reach the peak at 52.7 million m3 in 2003. This

fi gure was then felt drastically to 44.5 million m3 in 2005. Meanwhile, the timber industry also faced changes in

sources of raw materials which aff ected their quality (Figure 4). At present, round wood produced in Indonesia

originates from a number of sources; natural forests, industrial forest plantation, other legal permits, and conversion

areas. Total timber production for 20054 was 24.22 million m3, 5.72 million m3 of which originated from natural

forests5, 12.82 million m3 from industrial forest plantation, 0.76 million m3 from state-owned forest enterprise Perum

Perhutani, 3.61 million m3 from conversion areas (IPK) and 1.31 million m3 from other legal permits (ISL). Round wood

production fi gures for the last 12 years are presented in Table 1.

The total number of log production in 2005 published in Eksekutif Data Strategis Kehutanan 2006 (2006

Executive Strategic Forestry Data) is much lower than the total log production recorded by Directorate General for

Forestry Production in 2007, i.e. 42.36 million cubic meters (the complete data is presented in Annex 1).

If we assume the shortfall between offi cial round wood production and processed wood industry round

wood consumption is sourced from illegal round wood, it is quite clear that processed wood industries consume

huge quantities of illegal timber in their production processes (Figure 5). In 2002 the amount of illegal round wood

consumed by the timber industry was estimated at 42.2 million m3, later falling to 20.3 million m3 in 2005. This

means the timber industry plays a large part in severe environmental degradation currently taking place through

deforestation and forest degradation. Further, the timber industry’s declining consumption of illegal round wood

also indicates increasing diffi culties in securing raw materials. In other words, forest resources are critically degraded,

not only in the state production forests, but also in other forest areas as well. The MoF’s unremitting illegal logging

eradication operations are reported to have succeeded in reducing forestry crime in Indonesian forests over the last

two years.

2.1. Sawnwood and Woodworking Industries

Almost 90 % of Indonesian Sawmill and Woodworking Association (ISWA) members constitute small and

medium enterprises (UKM) with no HPH concessions. The current number of export-orientated companies registered

in the Forest Industry Revitalization Board (BRIK) stands at around 1600. However, the number of companies with

active operations has fallen from over the years, and in 2006 was down to 602 (BRIK, 2006). Total exports for 2006

amounted to 2.3 million m3 valued at US$ 1.29 billion. This fi gure is almost identical to 2005 with total exports of 2.4

million m3 worth US$ 1.27 billion. The main destination for woodworking exports is Japan followed by China, while

the best average prices come from exports to European countries, though volumes are small. For now, accurate

information regarding domestic supply and demand remains unavailable.

2.2. Plywood and Other Panel Wood Industries

The Indonesian Panel Wood Producers Association (APKINDO) had a recorded membership of 130

companies on 6 October 2006. Only 68, however, were active with a production capacity of 6.1 million m3 annually,

while only 19 units were producing at normal capacity (1.54 million m3 annually). Total exports for 2006 amounted

to 2.91 million m3 with a value of US$ 1.30 billion. This fi gure is signifi cantly lower than the 3.47 million m3 valued

at US$ 1.25 billion for 2005. The main destinations for plywood exports are Japan, the United States and the United

2.3. Pulp and Paper IndustriesThe Indonesia’s Pulp and Paper Association (APKI) reports for 2005 showed 10 integrated pulp and paper

mills and 3 non-integrated pulp mills operating in Indonesia with a total installed capacity of 6.45 million Adt (air-

dried tons), 86% of which came from Sumatra. At the same time, 53% of pulp and paper mills constituted foreign

private company investments. Total pulp production in 2005 was 5.47 million Adt with 2.56 million Adt being

exported, while pulp imports for the same year were 0.89 million Adt. In that year, Indonesia was the world’s ninth

largest pulp producer and the twelfth largest producer of paper. The main players in the pulp and paper industry in

Indonesia are Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) from the Sinar Mas Group (SMG), which controls 40% of pulp capacity and

31.8% of paper capacity, and APRIL from the Raja Garuda Mas group controlling 33.3% and 7.8% of pulp and paper

capacity, respectively.

During the 2000 to 2005 period, installed capacity for the pulp industry rose from 5.23 million Adt in

2000 to 6.45 million Adt in 2005, an increase of 23.3% (Table 2). This installed capacity increase accompanied by an

installed capacity utilization rate increase of 6.6% causing a sharp rise of 33.8% in pulp production during this period.

Further, despite pulp consumption rising at a low rate (7.7%), due to a 15.8% rise in imports, exports for 2005 were

almost twice as high as for the year 2000. Based on an FAO international trade data report (2005), in 2003, the main

importers of pulp from Indonesia were China (44%) followed by the Republic of Korea (24%), France (7%), Italy (6%)

and Japan (6%).

During the 1996 to 2003 period, 73% of world pulp industry capacity growth was down to the contributions

of just three countries: Brazil, Indonesia and China. Nevertheless, the combined pulp industry capacity of these three

nations was only 10% of total world capacity. Meanwhile, despite the combined population of the world’s three

major pulp producing countries - the United States, Canada and Japan – being only around 18.6 percent of the

world’s population, they consumed 73% of the world’s pulp and paper produced in 2003. Further, Spek (2006)6

stated that world pulp industry capacity is estimated to grow to 201.3 million tons Adt by 2010.

2.4. Furniture and Handicrafts IndustriesFurniture and handicrafts enterprises have been around for a long time in Indonesia and been passed down

from generation to generation. Furniture and handicrafts industry centres have developed rapidly, particularly in

Java with wood centres in Semarang, Jepara, Solo, Yogyakarta and Surabaya, and rattan centres in Cirebon, Sukoharjo

and Surabaya. The furniture and handicrafts industries are dominated by small and medium enterprises (UKM) with

home industries working together with larger businesses. Of all the industries in the forestry sector, the furniture

and handicrafts industries generate the highest number of employment per US$ 100 investment.

The timber requirement of the furniture and handicrafts industries is approximately 7 to 7.5 million m3

annually; commonly using species such as teak, mahogany, pine, acacia, gmelina, durian, mango, mbacang, kuweni,

bungur, sonokeling, mindi, waru, rubberwood and to a lesser degree woods originating from natural forests, like

meranti, nyatoh, bangkirai and kempas. Recently, Indonesia has begun importing wood from overseas, and the trend

is rising.

ASMINDO reported a total value of approximately US$ 1.79 billion in furniture exports for 2005 with the

main destinations for exported Indonesian furniture being the United States (37%), Japan (12%), the United Kingdom

(8%) the Netherlands (8%), Germany (7%) and France (7%). Some exports were also destined for Italy, Belgium, Spain

and Australia. Meanwhile, the world furniture trade increased in size from US$ 51 billion in 2000 to US$ 80 billion

in 2005.

III. Current Availability of Timber Supplies from Various Sources

At present, round wood produced in Indonesia originates from a number of sources, including natural

forests, industrial forest plantations, other legal permit areas, and conversion areas. Total wood production for 20057

was 24.19 million m3; with 5.69 million m3 originating from natural forests8, 12.82 million m3 from industrial forest

plantations, 0.76 million m3 from state-owned enterprise Perum Perhutani production forests, 3.61 million m3 from

land conversion permits (IPK) and 1.31 million m3 from other legal permits (ISL). Round wood production for the last

12 years is presented in Table 1 above. Some wood processing companies have reported using rubberwood (Hevea

brasiliensis), palm oil wood (Elaeis guineensis) and coconut wood (Cocos nucifera) usually sourced from crop estates

or smallholder estates.

3.1. Natural Production Forests

The Ministry of Forestry (2005)9 reported that based on results of its latest recalculations on Indonesia’s

forest cover status for 2003, forest cover was estimated at 133.6 million ha or around 71% of Indonesia’s total land

area. Out of the 133.6 million hectares, 60.9 million ha has been designated for natural production forests, either

Limited Production Forest or Permanent Production Forest. This recalculation shows too that production forests

comprised 14.8 million ha of primary natural forest (24.3%), 21.6 million ha of secondary natural forest (35.5%), 2.4

million ha of forest plantations (3.9%) and 18.4 million ha of non-forested areas (30.2%), while no data was available

for the remaining 3.7 million ha (6.1%). Further, 88% of total remaining primary forest and 72% of total remaining

secondary forest is located in Papua and Kalimantan. The extensive area of non-forested zones indicates the current

highly degraded state of natural forests. This is apparent from the extremely sharp decline in round wood production

during the 1994 to 2005 period, which fell from 17.3 million m3 in 1994 to 5.7 million m3 in 2005.

By June 2005, there were 281 HPH/IUPHHK concessions in active operations covering an area of 27.11

million ha. These comprised 185 purely private operations on 19.63 million ha, 5 purely state-owned enterprises

on 0.34 million ha, 86 participatory HPHs on 6.50 million ha, and 5 joint ventures over an area of 0.63 million ha.

These HPH/IUPHHKs were located mainly in the provinces of East Kalimantan (68 concessions), Central Kalimantan

(50 concessions), Papua (23 concessions), West Irian Jaya (23 concessions), West Kalimantan (21 concessions), Riau

(15 concessions), Central Sulawesi (14 concessions), North Maluku (12 concessions) and Maluku (10 concessions),

which, when combined, made up 84% of all active HPH/IUPHHK concessions in the country10.

By August 2006, the number of HPH/IUPHHKs had increased slightly to 303 concessions covering an area of

28.1 million ha. However, only 149 of these were active with a combined area of 14.6 million ha. The large number

(2002), 6.3 million m3 (2003), 5.7 million m3 (2004), 5.1 million m3 (2005), 8.2 million m3 (2006) and 9.1 million m3 (2007).

15The Forest Industry Revitalisation In-house Experts Working Group A Road Map For The Revitalization Of Indonesia’s Forest Industry

of HPH/IUPHHKs not in active operation (154 units with an area of 17.38 million ha) was due to a number of factors

that can be categorized into two groups: internal factors covering poor company health, lack of professional human

resources, low levels of commitment to forest management, and permit holders waiting only for a more conducive

situation; and external factors including: inconsistency and lack of integration in central and regional rules, continued

illegal logging, excessive claims by local communities and a lack of business certainty.

When compared to the total area of production forests (60.9 million ha), the total area of HPH/IUPHHKs

is far smaller. This means there are vast regions of ‘open-access’ production forest, the area of which is reportedly

around 16.4 million ha11.

Based on round wood production reports for the 1977 to 2000 period12, the average volume of commercial

round wood produced from production forests was 22.14 m3 per ha with an annual incremental growth of 1.13 m3

per ha. This growth in volume is far lower than that observed by Sumarna, et al. (2002)13 which ranged from 0.53 m3

per ha annually in Aceh to 3.26 m3 per ha annually in East Kalimantan, with an average annual incremental growth

of 1.82 m3 per ha. The fi gure is, however, far higher than growth estimates by Sist, et al. (1998)14 of 0.3 to 0.5 m3 per

ha annually. Some logged-over natural forests can now be exploited as they have reached their rotation age of 35

years.

3.2. Forest plantations

Aside from the 1.78 million ha of forest plantations managed by state-owned enterprise Perum Perhutani,

the government also processed permits for 10.26 million ha15 of industrial forest plantations (HTI) during the 1989

to 2006 period for producing pulpwood and lumber. The cumulative number of HTIs developed by 2006, however,

was very low at 3.03 million ha or only 30%. Of this number, 60% was planted for producing pulpwood while only

32% are for lumber. Currently, of the 45 IUPHHK pulpwood forest plantation companies, 12 own a total share of 73%.

Whereas, of the 166 IUPHHK lumber forest plantation companies, 32 companies, each with forest plantation areas of

more than 9000 ha, own a total share of 61%.

Lumber production from Perum Perhutani forest plantations declined sharply during the 1994 to 2005

period, from 1.87 million m3 in 1994 to 0.76 million m3 in 2005 (Table 1), indicating a depletion in forest resources

managed by Perum Perhutani. This contrasts markedly with wood production from HTIs, all of which was pulpwood,

which continued to rise throughout the same period16. Nevertheless, HTI pulpwood production was still insuffi cient

to meet timber industry needs since not enough were planted, and planting times were unsuited to timber industry

development. Average HTI per hectare timber production still remains low.

Observations on the ground in several IUPHHK forest plantations17 showed that pulpwood production

(Acacia spp, Eucalyptus spp) with a rotation period of 6 to 8 years is suffi ciently high, ranging from 125 to 200 m3 per

ha. These wood production fi gures are still far lower than expected because current incremental volume growth for

pulpwood is already between 35 to 60 m3 per ha annually, depending on the species and clone seedlings planted.

3.3. Community Forests

From 2003 to 2005, around 219,000 ha of community forests were developed through the national

movement on forest and land rehabilitation program ( GN-RHL/Gerhan) and a further 2,000 ha through government

and community partnership schemes18. In addition, approximately 7,606 ha of community forests were developed

through partnership schemes involving companies and communities. Nevertheless, the total area of community

forests developed is in fact far smaller than the area of 1.56 million ha reported by the Central Statistics Agency

based on the 2003 Agriculture Census. Further, Santoso (2006)19 pointed out that at least 6 million m3 of round

wood is produced by community forests each year. The discrepancies in these fi gures imply that no accurate data

on community forests is presently available at the national level.

3.4. Estate Crops

In 2005, the total area of estate crops in Indonesia was estimated at around 18.64 million ha, 13.89 million

of which were smallholder estates and 4.74 million ha were large crops estates. Of this fi gure, 70.8% was made up

of only three species of crops: rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) covering 3.28 million ha, coconut (Cocos nucifera) on 4.32

million ha and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) on 5.59 million ha. Almost all the coconut plantations, around 83% of

rubber and 35% of oil palms are of smallholder estates.

Unlike Malaysia and Thailand20, Indonesia’s timber industry has not yet to use rubberwood (Hevea

around US$ 1.1 billion. Thailand also uses rubberwood as the raw material for its furniture industry with a total export value

of approximately US$ 300 million annually (FAO, 2005).

brasiliensis)21, coconut wood (Cocos nucifera)22 or oil palm wood (Elaeis guineensis)23 as raw materials because of

the abundant supply of round wood from natural forests in the past. Ironically, this still remains the case despite

the drastic decline in round wood supplies from natural forests. This situation must change; the three estate crop

species must be considered as alternative sources of raw materials, particularly as so much information is available

on their physical and mechanical characteristics in connection with their processing.

21 A brightly coloured, medium density, wide-leafed and easily tooled wood. Rubberwood can be a substitute for a number

of timber species, including ramin (Gonystylus spp.), meranti (Shorea spp.), teak (Tectona grandis), oak (Quercus spp.) and pine

(Pinus spp.). The majority of rubberwood is processed into sawnwood and then made into furniture. Rubberwood is now

often used as a raw material for particleboard, cement board and medium density fi breboard. Tests have also been carried

out on the utilization of rubberwood as a raw material for oriented strandboard (FAO, 2005)

22 Through sorting and certain treatments to parts of mature coconut stems, coconut wood can be a substitute for timber

(Killmann and Fink, 1996). Currently, sawing coconut stems remains the domain of small-scale enterprises. Sawnwood

from coconut palms is generally used for rebuilding houses and simple bridges in rural areas, though coconut wood is also

used for things other than construction. New processing technologies have managed to expand the utilisation of coconut

wood to make cabinets and crafts such as jewellery boxes, cups, vases, plates and bowls (Arancon, 1997)

23 Current developments in research and tests on oil palm fi bre in mechanical and chemical pulp production are highly

promising. Similarly, research into the use of oil palm wood as panel wood and in gypsum fi breboard is developing rapidly

(Kollert, Killmann and Sudin, 1994).

V. Road Map of Indonesia’s Wood Industry

As previously stated in this document, key problems faced by Indonesia’s wood industry are not without

causes nor it is stand-alone. It is almost impossible to discuss the performance and the development of timber

industry without exploring the supply side of raw materials. On the other hand, the supply side of timber industry

raw materials will be less important unless we look at the distribution or where such raw materials are processed to

gain a higher added value. Furthermore, the role of timber industry will be reduced if the resulted products are less

favorable, low quality with non-competitive market price. Raw materials, industry and market are closely related and

have a high inter-dependency. As such, these three factors should become the foundation and a starting point in

developing the strategy. In other words, the strategy should be based on how forest resources as the main supplier

of timber is properly managed so as to fulfi ll timber industries demands sustainably. The subsequent issue will be

how the timber industry can operate in an effi cient manner, creating high quality timber products with high added

value where such products can be traded in a wide market segment and can compete in international market.

With such understanding, this Road Map is meant to be a depiction of a trajectory, a road map for activities

that need to be carried out by Indonesia’s forestry industry to the future. The road map explains the strategic

concepts to achieve expected condition in certain period of time, which are then, elaborated into a more detailed

policy and action plans. Milestones are also placed and presented as indicator of successes. In addition, actors

related to certain activities (who should do what, how, when and where) were identifi ed, taking into consideration

that the development of timber industry need to be in synergy with similar activities in related government agencies

in central or regional, such as Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade , Provincial and Local Governments (Figure 6).

To achieve the ultimate goal there are other prerequisite, such that they become an enabling condition.

This includes political will, national stewardship, availability of economic institution, guarantees for access to land

and business, delegation of authority to local decision makers, clear rules and regulation for community and public

institution and human resources capacity, and most importantly, the link between macro and micro economic

development.

In relation to the 18 forestry development focuses stated by the Ministry of Forestry, implementing the

road map for forestry industry revitalization is of the heart of forestry development. This is because 11 out of 18

development focuses emphasize the legal and sustainable supply of log as the main raw material for the industry,

one focus is related to marketing and trading and one focuses on the development of forest industry itself.

VI. Expected Conditions

In the future, wood processing industries are expected to be sturdy, effi cient, and competitive, and to

develop and use legal and sustainable supply of raw materials. By considering current conditions, problems faced

and timber industry trends, a clear vision and mission, as well as objectives and targets had to be set regarding

plans for the future development of wood processing industries. To bring these into a reality, appropriate strategies,

policies and action plans are deemed necessary.

6.1. Vision

A vision is an expected condition to be occurred for a certain period of time, for instance twenty years into

the future. This vision could become a reality if all stakeholders, including government, business practitioners and

communities, have a strong commitment to undertaking their tasks and responsibilities in revitalizing Indonesia’s

timber industry. The proff ered vision constitutes a shared vision of the government and business practitioners

involved in the plywood and wood panel, wood working, pulp and paper and furniture industries. The following is

of a vision statement for developing timber industry in Indonesia:

“A high quality and competitive Indonesian timber industry supported by sustainable and growing sources of raw

materials”

A quality timber industry is expected to generate high-quality processed wood products able to penetrate

markets that demand high quality such as those in Japan, the United States and Europe. Further, a quality timber

industry must be highly competitive; meaning the processed wood products it generates must be capable of

competing with those of its competitors such as Malaysia, China and Japan.

6.2. Mission

The mission is an operational level elaboration of the vision. In the mission, there is the desire for the vision

to be attained as eff ectively as possible. Nevertheless, elaboration had yet to go as far as how, how many, or who

would be involved in its implementation. It was hoped that in the mission statements, implicit milestones could be

passed before fi nal objectives are realised. The mission statements are as follows:

a. Increase the availability of raw materials for utilization, especially from forest plantations and other legitimate and sustainable sources of timber;

b. Restructure and revitalise timber mills making them effi cient, competitive and supportive to woodworking industries;

c. Develop environmentally friendly high added value products able to compete in the international market place; and

d. Produce certifi cated woodworking industry products.

6.3. Objectives and targets

The four missions were broken down further into objectives and targets which could hopefully be achieved

at every milestone. The objectives are of desired situations, whereas targets are quantitative measurements indicating

the successful achievements of the objectives. Of course, in this respect there are enabling conditions that constitute

Page 33: Roadmap for revitalization_of_indonesia_s_forest_industry_nov_2007

27The Forest Industry Revitalisation In-house Experts Working Group A Road Map For The Revitalization Of Indonesia’s Forest Industry

preconditions to the achievement of particular objectives and targets. These enabling conditions are not analysed

here, but will be discussed later in the following section. The objectives and targets expected to be attainable within

twenty years are as follows:

a. Legal and sustainable supplies of raw materials achieved from a number of sources, particularly from sustainably managed and certifi ed production forests (allocation and estimated supplies of timber raw materials from various sources for the 2007 - 2025 period are presented in Tables 4 and 5).

b. Processed wood production levels in accord with sustainable supplies of raw materials

c. Industry operates effi ciently, with a high recovery rate and a capacity utilization rate of above 70 percent.

d. Highly competitive processed wood products with at least 20 percent of exported primary and secondary processed wood products being certifi cated.

e. Improved market share with eff ective and effi cient marketing systems and patterns in place for both domestic and export markets.

f. Processed wood production focuses on environmentally friendly high added value commodities by strengthening the woodworking industry.

Estimations for legal and sustainable timber raw material supplies for the 2007 to 2025 period presented in

Table 5 were calculated by considering input from practitioners and were based on the following assumptions:

a. Log supply fi gures for natural forests were based on actual timber production (from annual work plans) and an annual increase of 10% where timber production from natural forests in 2006 was 5.3 million m3.

b. Log supply fi gures or pulp HTIs were based on: an annual cumulative plantation realization rate of 1.8 million ha from 1989 to 2006; plans for new plantations on 250 thousand ha in 2007 and 300 thousand ha annually during the 2008 to 2014 period; a rotation cycle of 7 years; annual incremental volume growth of 25 m3 per ha; and a realization factor of 60%.

c. Log supply fi gures for lumber HTIs were based on: an annual cumulative plantation realization rate of 1.3 million ha from 1989 to 2006; plans for new plantations on 75 thousand ha annually for the 2007 to 2014 period; a rotation cycle of 20 years; annual incremental volume growth of 15 m3 per ha; and a realization factor of 60%.

d. Log supply fi gures for HTR community forest plantations were based on: planned plantation of 200 thousand ha in 2007, 400 thousand ha in 2008, 600 thousand ha in 2009, and 770 thousand ha annually for the 2010 to 2013 period; 570 thousand ha in 2014, 370 thousand ha in 2015, and 180 thousand ha in 2016; a rotation cycle of 8 years; annual incremental volume growth of 25 m3 per ha; and a realization factor of 60%.

e. Steady annual timber supplies from Perhutani, community forests, rubber estates, oil palm estates, coconut plantations24 and imports of 0.9 million m3, 6.0 million m3, 6.0 million m3, 10 million m3, 8 million m3, and 0.2 million m3 respectively throughout the 2007 to 2025 period. Supplies from ISLs and IPKs are expected to fall by 15% annually in the 2007 to 2009 period, and then drop by 60% every year beginning in 2010.

f. Allocations of timber raw materials from various sources for each branch of the timber industry used the assumptions presented in Table 4.

24 Until now, actual utilisation of coconut wood and oil palm wood by domestic wood processing industries remains extremely

low compared to potential annual fi gures for these estate crop woods.

VII. Strategy Recommendations

7.1. Road maps for Indonesia’s timber industries

The Ministry of Forestry took an initiative to hold round-table discussions involving all stakeholders,

including forestry associations, academics, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Trade. The round-table

discussions generated road maps for the development of 4 (four) forestry industries: the panel wood, woodworking,

pulp and paper, and furniture industries. The road maps were prepared using the SWOT approach by including the

most infl uential key factors determining S (strengths), W (weaknesses), O (opportunities) and T (threats). Every key

factor was given a weight and ranking, that was subsequently multiplied. The results of multiplications were then

added up for the S, W, O, and T, and put into diagrammatic form where strengths were contrasted with weaknesses

and opportunities with threats. The selected strategy for each road map was the one that generated the highest

multiplication out of S-O, S-T, W-O, and W-T. Table 6 below is the result of the highest multiplication and selected

strategy for each of the four industries.

Table 6. Selected strategies for each of the industries

IndustryHighest multiplication

between SWOT elements Selected strategy

Plywood 4.80 * W-TWoodworking 5.10 * W-TPulp and Paper Provision of raw materials 13.51 ** W-T

Industry expansion 18.04 ** S-O

Industry competitiveness 21.00 ** S-O

Furniture 5.15 * W-O

Note: * Weighted value calculated by multiplying weight and rating, where the rating is on a scale of 1 – 3 ** Weighted value calculated by multiplying weight and rating, where the rating is on a scale of 1 – 5

The selected strategy for each industry was subsequently developed further by looking at results of a

synthesis of three studies on the development of wood-based industries undertaken by the Forestry Research and

Development Agency (Badan Litbang Kehutanan) and ITTO (2004), NRM and the National Development Planning

Agency (Bappenas) (2005), and by CIFOR and the World Bank (2005). Time period adjustments were made for these

strategies by dividing them into two periods: 1) the restructuring period from 2007-2014, and 2) the revitalization

period from 2015-2025.

7.2. Grand Strategy for the Development of Wood Processing Industries

Outcomes of SWOT analyses on all four of the wood processing industries (plywood, woodworking, pulp

and paper and furniture) showed both the weaknesses and threats to the supply of raw materials for timber industry.

Therefore, select strategies ithat could overcome the threats and cut the weaknesses to the minimum extend

possible.

Page 39: Roadmap for revitalization_of_indonesia_s_forest_industry_nov_2007

33The Forest Industry Revitalisation In-house Experts Working Group A Road Map For The Revitalization Of Indonesia’s Forest Industry

Wood processing industry development strategies aimed at carrying out modifi cations to wood processing

machines, retooling (replacement with new machines) and investments, mainly in the plywood industry. For other

secondary industries, meanwhile, more focus was put on creating high added value and superior products.

For pulp, the recommended growth strategy was industrial capacity expansion in line with growth rate

and crop expansion. Further necessary strategies were diversifi cation of pulp products and fi nding alternative

mechanical pulp processing techniques to reduce environmental impacts. The future strategies for panel products

were improved technology, and utilizing low-value wood for the core of products, and high-value wood for the

facing. For woodworking and furniture, products had to be responsive to market demand. In the case of furniture,

unique products with ethnic designs needed to be developed.

Recommended strategies for market development are maintaining existing markets (traditional markets)

and capturing potential markets. To do this, marketing systems for export and domestic consumption need to be

improved and made more eff ective and effi cient. For pulp, fulfi lment of the domestic market is prioritized with a

ratio of 2:3, i.e. 2 for domestic consumption and 3 for export. Fulfi lling the domestic market is necessary as input for

the domestic paper industry. The expansion of pulp export markets requires an intensive marketing strategy (market

intelligence) covering promotion, penetration and expansion. Problems, objectives and recommended strategies

are presented in detail in Table 7 and Table 8.

VIII. Enabling Conditions

In timber industry development, after a vision, then a mission, objectives, targets, strategy recommendations, and

follow-up steps all constitute recipes or necessary conditions in order that fi nal aims can be realised. Nevertheless, all

of these on their own remain insuffi cient; enabling conditions or suffi cient conditions are necessary so that strategies

and follow-up steps can be carried out according to the plan. Enabling conditions consist of preconditions and

macro and micro economic relationships.

1.1. Preconditions

Below are seven essential preconditions for bringing about the sturdy forestry industry explained in the vision

and mission sections above. These seven preconditions are as follows:

a. Political will - Clarity, and high levels of commitment from policy makers and all stakeholders involved.

Political will must be consistent and continual, so necessary requirements are stable political support,

adequate funds, and encouragement from all government and non-government stakeholders. Commonly,

not all stakeholders will feel comfortable with policy changes, as some will benefi t and some will lose out,

despite changes being aimed purely at national interests. Therefore, without long-term political support

and commitment from all stakeholders, these strategies will merely be references on paper.

b. National stewardship – The sense of ownership over national assets. Article 33 paragraph 3 of the 1945

Constitution says that the land, the waters and all the riches contained therein shall be controlled by the

state and exploited to the greatest benefi t of the people. The government is therefore responsible for

organizing rights and responsibilities to manage all of the country’s resources, including forest resources.

Without this sense of ownership, many national assets will be discarded, used illegally, or neglected and

exhausted. Illegal logging, groups of people having control over state forests, and poor supervision on the

ground are all examples of a weak sense of national stewardship.

c. Economic institutions – Open, transparent and equitable economic relations between all stakeholders

involved. These economic relationships must be encouraged and strengthened through fair and transparent

transactions among all stakeholders, and must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. Rules of play

such as these will encourage the government, investors, and all stakeholders involved to implement

policies together and bear any risks that might arise as a result of their implementation. These economic

institutions will be explained in more detail in the sub-section below on Macro and Micro Economics.

d. Land accessibility and business guarantees – Forestry sector activities are long-term investments

requiring business guarantees for investors. However, on the other hand, forestry activities also come into

contact with various interests outside forestry, and also with communities living in and around forests.

Confl icts of interest between stakeholders occur frequently in the fi eld. Therefore, the ability to manage

costs and benefi ts at all times is absolutely essential. Without tenurial certainty and clarity over access to

forest resources, investments in the forestry sector will probably struggle to succeed. The point is how

government, communities and business practitioners are organized within a clear tenurial system with

rules, obligations and bundles of rights for stakeholders to utilise land and forest resources transparently,

Page 59: Roadmap for revitalization_of_indonesia_s_forest_industry_nov_2007

53The Forest Industry Revitalisation In-house Experts Working Group A Road Map For The Revitalization Of Indonesia’s Forest Industry

sustainably and equitably.

e. Delegation of authority to policy makers on the ground – This is closely connected with the

decentralization process; the delegation of authority in forestry from the central to provincial and

district governments. Decentralization requires fundamental changes in working relationships between

the diff erent levels of the goverment, and between the government and business practitioners and

communities. When authority and responsibility at every level of government is unclear or interpreted

diff erently by stakeholders, then the mismanagement and excessive exploitation of forest resources will be

inevitable.

f. Clear rules for community institutions and public institutions – The provision of access and forest

exploitation permits has frequently been vague, and as such has often led to confusion on the ground.

Policies carried out should have been done so with market-based institutions with DR and PSDH costs

incurred, for instance, becoming a part of forest benefi t accountability between the government and

business practitioners. Meanwhile, things relating to community rights and responsibilities have been paid

little attention. As a result of these weaknesses, many state forests have been left unmanaged and become

‘open access’ with encroachment occurring as if it has always been intended.

g. Human resources capacity – Educational backgrounds, levels of prosperity, experience, beliefs and

cultures of stakeholders are all determining factors in the success or failure of forest management and

timber industry development. Therefore, human resources play a highly signifi cant part in good forest

governance. Nepotistic practices and KKN have a far-reaching impact on forestry sector performance.

To change stakeholders’ habits, perceptions and behaviour, social investment should become a central

component in human resources development.

1.2. Macro and micro economic connections

The timber industry does not stand alone and apart from all social, economic and political frameworks

and development systems, either in national or regional, or in international spheres. As explained above, the timber

industry has provided a vital contribution to the national economy, though its contribution is declining from year

to year. For that reason, in future the timber industry will be aimed towards being able to compete in the global

marketplace. Competitiveness is determined by an increase in productivity, with increased output being generated

from the same input. Productivity itself is determined by the value of products and services, as well as production

effi ciency.

According to Porter (2006), competitiveness is determined by macroeconomic success, social stability,

politics and legislation. These, however, are still insuffi cient. Genuine macroeconomic success must be developed

from micro-economic successes. In the context of the timber industry, microeconomics involves how companies

conduct sophisticated strategies in their operations. It is these strategies that will determine a healthy and conducive

business climate in the national timber industry.

Porter also stressed things needing to become priorities in order to improve Indonesia’s macro economy

were the need for legislative system reform, avoiding policies that constantly change, simplifi cation of government

bureaucracy, development of a social safety net, and eff ective coordination between public and community

institutions.

Page 60: Roadmap for revitalization_of_indonesia_s_forest_industry_nov_2007

54 The Forest Industry Revitalisation In-house Experts Working Group A Road Map For The Revitalization Of Indonesia’s Forest Industry

At the company level (micro economy), to advance business systems, things requiring improvement are the

quality and quantity of existing industry facilities and infrastructure, human resources skills, and the development of

certain economic zones. In this respect, economic development should also be based on the concept of clustering;

timber industries included. In a broader context, economic cooperation could be increased within the ASEAN

region.

56 The Forest Industry Revitalisation In-house Experts Working Group A Road Map For The Revitalization Of Indonesia’s Forest Industry

IX. In Closing

Forest industry restructuring and revitalization in the short and long terms must involve all stakeholders in

order to implement the selected strategies explained in Chapter VI (Strategy Recommendations). The implications

of these strategies are that production levels and the number of people employed in timber industries will decline

for a period of time. Coordination and cooperation from several ministries and agencies is absolutely vital. On the

other side, these strategies will reduce pressure on natural forests and at the same time provide room for effi cient

timber companies to operate.

When the results of the fi rst stage’s forest plantation extensifi cation and intensifi cation (short term) can be

realised, the gap between the demand and supply of pulpwood will narrow. This gap, however, will remain wide for

lumber. Other short-term strategies in terms of demand are modifying machines and equipment so timber industries

become more effi cient, focusing on high added value products, and supporting the growth and development of

small and medium wood processing enterprises, particularly for secondary wood products that can adapt to market

changes and dynamics and create more job opportunities.

Demand and supply of sustainable lumber is expected to stabilize in the long term, and pulpwood supplies

are expected to exceed domestic demand, while timber industries will operate effi ciently and manage to adapt

to market changes and diff erent raw materials. Other long-term strategies are maintaining and increasing the

international competitiveness of timber products and developing a timber industry in Indonesia that produces high

added value products and creates new job opportunities.

The main things requiring attention are enabling conditions to support the realization of a sturdy and

competitive timber industry so Indonesia can regain its position as a major timber industry producer and so it can

play a greater role in contributing to the national economy.
