Objectives of the Study To recommend Strategies that will competitively address the wood-based industry structure and capacity, taking into account sustainable domestic logs capacity and market trends ACIAR- Indonesia Consultation

Status Quo Situation : Forestry at a Transition Point Status Quo Scenario Findings: Sustainable cut of natural forest: ≈ 9 M m3/yr Existing HTI production: ≈ 11 M m3/yr Alternative supplies: ≈ 1-2 M m3/yr  Timber Gap: M m3 into the future Current, Legal Supply - Mainly from natural forests - No increase in plantation rate nor productivity Unsustainable Harvest (IL) Current Industrial Demand: ≈ M m3/yr ACIAR- Indonesia Consultation

Positive Future Prospects – 20 Yrs: Plantation Timber Helps Balance Supply & Demand Improved Future Supply Potential Assumes: ▲HTI Pulp from 100,000 to 250,000/yr ▲HTI productivity from 15 to 60 m3/yr ▲Alt sources to 3-5 M m3/yr: H.R., Rubber, Imports ▼Pressure on Primary Forest in SR Continue to harvest Secondary Forest in LR Timber Gap Can Be Reduced with Plantations after 8 yrs ACIAR- Indonesia Consultation

Cycle of Plantation Timber Creates Three ‘Natural’ 7 Year Phases Short Run Med. Run Short Run: Physical Gap: demand > supply Need to control forest crime Need new, legal sources in SR Need Planting for LR Medium Run: Can fill gap with planting More grown timber New process technology Long Run: Plenty of grown timber Can expand industry Compete internationally Long Run ACIAR- Indonesia Consultation

Synthesis Recommendation: Phased Intervention Strategy - Restructuring, Re-engineering, Revitalization Phase 3: REVITALIZATION After 2020 Growth Based on Plantations Increased Exports Legal, Sustainable, Competitive Short Run Med. Run Phase 2: RE-ENGINEERING Gap Nearly Balanced Retool Industry for Efficiency Focus on High Value Markets Phase 1: RESTRUCTURING NOW to 2012 Intensify Timber Planting Improve HTI Productivity Reduce Forest Crime & Debt Develop Alternative Sources Temporarily Limit Processing Builds on Current MoF Policy ACIAR- Indonesia Consultation
