Indonesia: Furniture industry targets brisk growth in exports
Furniture exports from Indonesia totalled US$674 million in the first quarter of 2010, 15% up from US$587 million in the same period last year.
Indonesia has set a target of US$2.59 billion for its furniture exports this year, an increase of 15% over US$2.25 billion in 2009.
Indonesian furniture companies showcased their traditional and rattan furniture at the Shanghai International Furniture Expo on 2-4 June 2010. The expo is aimed at middle and upper-middle class customers in China.
The Indonesia Furniture Industry & Handicraft Association (Asmindo) forecasts that its exports to China will hit US$20 million in 2010. This level is significant compared to US$9 million in 2009, which was 20% down from 2008. Indonesian furniture exports to China peaked in 2004 at US$14 million.
Certification improvements
Sustainable forestry management and afforestation efforts in Selopuro, Wonogiri in central Java, have improved the standard of living among villagers. The Indonesian Ecolabelling Institute (LEI) has introduced forest certification in 10 sustainable community forest management units in Java covering 21,000 hectares of forests. These measures have generated revenues for the community to build schools.
Selopuro was the first village to have its community forest certified in 2004 and since then the community has experienced many improvements. For example, in the past the area had scarce water resources but today there are 22 water sources catering the needs of villagers. In addition to the revenue from timber, the villagers earn additional income of US$60 by breeding livestock in community forests. The villagers also practise agro-forestry.
