I. OVERVIEW OF WOODBASED INDUSTRIES
Forest resources have important roles in supplying raw materials for the industries, and in providing sources of income and job opportunities. With a view to obtain the added values, the processing of forest resources should always maintain the balance between capacity in supplying the raw materials and the capacity of the industries. Therefore, the wood based industries in Indonesia are oriented towards products that are of higher added value and competitive at international markets.
The wood-based industries in Indonesia have developed since 1985, with the establishment of sawmills and plywood industries, and subsequently wood working and furniture industries. In the year of 1990s, pulp and paper industries were established. The value of wood-based products export in 2005 was approximately US $ 8.00 billion, which increased from the previous year. Wood-based products export were dominated by plywood and furniture, followed by wood working, and then pulp.
