  1. ACIAR’S FORESTRY PROGRAMIN INDONESIAPresentation to consultation workshopFebruary 2007

  2. OUTLINE • ACIAR’s Forestry Program – guiding parameters • Current status of forestry in Indonesia • Indonesian forestry – competitive advantages • A vision for Indonesian forestry • Current ACIAR-Indonesia forestry priorities • ACIAR’s Indonesia project portfolio • Key issues

  3. ACIAR’s FORESTRY PROGRAM Some guiding parameters • Budget around $3 million annually • Countries • Indonesia • PNG • Pacific • Laos • Vietnam • Focus on economic impacts • Availability of Australian expertise

  4. FORESTRY IN INDONESIA • Extensive, highly diverse tropical forests • sustainability challenge – over-exploitation, illegal logging • Large plantation resource • teak • acacia – sustainability question • Internationally significant processing sector • pulp and paper • plywood • Major contribution to export economy • Major contribution also to domestic economy • many communities dependent on forests for livelihoods • NTFPs • local processing, e.g. furniture

  5. INDONESIAN FORESTRY – COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES • Extensive areas of native forest capable of sustained yield of a wide range of products, if properly managed • Climate and soils conducive to good tree growth • Large and expanding plantation estate • Sophisticated processing industry • Communities knowledgable about forests and aware of their importance

  6. A VISION FOR INDONESIAN FORESTRY • Sustainably managed native forests • production of tropical timber • integrated with the production of a broad range of products and services • A larger plantation estate • sustainably managed • appropriately sited • extensive community involvement • feeding a large processing industry • A larger, more diversified processing industry • Wider use of integrated agroforestry practices, including for the production of non-timber forest products

  7. CURRENT ACIAR-INDONESIA FORESTRY PRIORITIES • Integrating pest and disease management with improved production systems in high value plantation crops • Development and domestication of eastern Indonesian non-timber forest product species for income generation • Development of tree farming models with improved smallholder-plantation company cooperation • Improved utilisation and value addition of timber from fast-growing and high value plantation species • Development of sustainable timber-crop-livestock systems for the dry tropics of Eastern Indonesia

  8. ACIAR’s INDONESIAN FORESTRY PORTFOLIO • Bilateral Program • Root rot of acacia plantations • Site management for realisation of genetic gains in acacia plantations • Community partnerships • Commercial development of non-timber forest products in eastern Indonesia (under development) • Integrated timber-forage-livestock agroforestry systems for eastern Indonesia (scoping study underway) • Options for teak industry development in South-east Sulawesi (scoping study to be conducted) • Processing technologies for diversification of plantation timber processing (under development)

  9. ACIAR’s INDONESIAN FORESTRY PORTFOLIO • Multilateral Program • Agroforestry mozaics (ICRAF) • Decentralisation (CIFOR) • Improving economic outcomes for smallholders growing teak (CIFOR)

  10. KEY ISSUES • How best to deploy ACIAR’s investment in Indonesian forestry • plantations • processing • non-timber forest products • etc • Linking with capacity building • e.g. maximising JAF opportunities
