プロジェクト・活動情報

The wood industry plays a role as one of the economic drivers of forest communities in various regions of Indonesia. This potential of wood industries is considered in the vast forests in Indonesia as a source of wood production as well as population growth in Indonesia and the world. With these potentials, the wood industry is projected to support the economy of the community, regions, and countries and reduce pressure on the forest, particularly the natural production forest. The performance of the wood industry can be improved with an incentive supported by a broader market of Indonesian wood products to increase land cover in natural forests, and plantations forest managed by private and forest communities.

Based on data collected by ITTO PD 928/22 Rev.1 (I), the development of the wood industry market faces several challenges, particularly related to supply chain, market development; low performance of sustainable forest management; policy incentives to support the development of natural production forest; big data integration among sectors. The project findings recommend intensive development in broadening the market both the domestic and global markets as well as enhancing a legal and sustainable supply chain as part of the Indonesian Legality and Sustainability Verification System (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kelestarian - SVLK).

The project focuses on stimulating good forestry governance by enhancing the legal and sustainable supply chain. Therefore, the proposed project aims to reduce pressure on the forest area supported by good forest and wood industry governance. Finally, stimulating the supporting environment to implement legal and sustainable supply chains and increasing the capacity of the wood industry in the domestic and global markets can prevent over-exploitation and become an enabling condition for better supervision of sustainable forest management and development of the wood industry. By enhancement of the wood industry performance through the implementation of this proposed project, sustainable forest management and a legal and sustainable supply chain will promote forestry governance, law enforcement, and traceability.
