The MFP speculated that enforcement of the EU Forestry legislation may result in a shortage of timber entering the EU market, thus pushing prices higher. This, in turn, will benefit Indonesian exporters, as Indonesia is well placed to fill the gap in the supply of legal timber. The supply chain verification system in Indonesia was initiated in 2003 before it was incorporated into the Indonesian forestry ministry decree in 2009. At this time guidelines for the evaluation processes for production, forest management and legal timber verification were established.
To-date, both primary forest areas and commercial forest plantations in Blora and Wonosobo, in Central Java, and Gunungkidul in Yogyakarta have achieved the required standard and have been so certified. Indonesia is planning to move its timber industry into more downstream processing through the application of the certification system to timber processors.
Provincial forestry offices to get funds to improve forest fire fighting capacity
The Indonesian Forestry Ministry has reportedly set aside up to Rp.164 billion to address the problem of forest fires. Some Rp.9 billion will be distributed to 33 provincial forestry offices to increase regional forest fire fighting capacity.
The intense haze emitted every year from fires on farmland and peat lands in Indonesia has been a bone of contention between Indonesia and its neighbouring countries for many years. In addition to the health hazard posed by the smoke, the tourism sectors in Singapore and Malaysia are also affected.
