Indonesia: Certification in Kalimantan
Reports suggest some large timber concessionaires in
Kalimantan are seeking certification as part of their
corporate governance development to try and secure a
long-term future in the sector.
Certification is also seen as a means for providing job
security as well getting production onto a more sustainable
track.
Reports indicate that some concessionaires have approached The Borneo Initiative (www.theborneoinitiative.org/about_tbi.html), a Dutch non-governmental organization specializing in sustainable forest management. This organisation apparently provides support during the certification process which will be via the Indonesian Ecolabeling Institute. Up to one million ha. of forests are said to be ready for certification, with 600,000 ha. in Kalimantan alone.
Plywood push in India
Indonesian manufacturers are working hard to further penetrate the Indian plywood market according to the Indonesian Wood Panel Association (APKINDO). India imports up to 16 million cubic metres of timber annually, domestic consumption is currently around 95 million cubic metres. According to APKINDO, Indonesia is in a strong position to compete for a bigger share of the Indian market for 2.7 mm thickness plywood which is in high demand in India.
