PART I: CONTEXT

1. Origin

This project is a direct follow-up of the pre-project number PPD 57/02(1) entitled "Improvement o/processing efficiency o/tropical timber/rom sustainable source in Indonesia" It is proposed based on the current situation of the country's raw material deficit and inefficient of wood processing in Indonesia and it is the concrete following up action of recommendations made by the ITTO Technical mission to Indonesia in 2001. Among the accommodations of the ITTO mission are to enhance production efficiency of those mills that are fit for production through retooling, diversification, improve technology, human resource development; to adopt appropriate technologies for utilizing raw material of differing quality and properties and promote downstream value added production for obtaining increased retained value.

The work under PPD 57/02(1) through field visited to 8 selected mills in 5 regions of Indonesia confirmed the weakness that earlier studies had revealed in the wood industries processing sectors. Within the scope of the pre-project, two workshops were held in Jakarta and Surabaya in September and October 2003, respectively. In these workshops, the findings of the pre-project work were extensively discussed by about 40 selected participants from the relevant public and private industry sectors.

The pre-project has identified existing gaps between the individual mill's processing competency with international demand for processed wood products, in terms of product lines or use of diversity sources, quality performances and leading to identification of necessary technical measures to improve the level of wood processing efficiency. Those are essential problem to immediately evaluated cause of efficiency and monitor in order to improve the system production and productivity, efficiency, consistency of final products by eliminating errors and problems early on in the process, significant operating cost and downtime in the process can be reduce with respect to less waste, reject, and customer claim.

2. Sectoral Policies

Indonesia's forestry sector aims at achieving sustainable forest management. The forest management system is originally stipulated in the Basic forestry Act of 1967. In line with the act, government issued regulation No. 21 of 1970 concerning utilization of production forest concessions in sustainable way.

In booming logs production in 1970's and following the ban oflogs export in the late 1970's most of the concessions holds built saw mill industry with enormous capacity and exported most of the production. In early 1980's in response to government appeal to forestry sector for value adding and raising employment, the many concessionaries built down stream industries such as plywood, wood working mills, handicraft and furniture.

In mid 1980's the government abruptly banned the sawn timber export in order to boost downstream industry development. In response to the drive plywood industry grew enormously and by the end of 1990's the number plywood mills followed by working industry.

1

To encourage development of wood industry, the government issued Regulation No. 17 of 1986, placing responsibility to licensing the wood industries under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Indonesia (MITI).

The recent reform situation in Indonesia has helped to improve forestry policy, in which the Ministry of Forestry and local government are given greater role in ensuring the implementation of principles of sustainable forest management.

Indonesia has also confirmed its adherence to international commitment. This includes ITTO Target 2000, the objectives and recommendation of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the Convention on International trade of endangered species and the world heritage. Since Indonesia is a member of ITTO, it has an obligation to support the ITTO objectives towards sustainable forest management.

Government recently lifted the regulation aimed at enforcing integration between logs producers (i.e. concessionaires) with wood based industry. This is an improvement step to prevent transferred pricing and providing non concession wood based industry with fair competition for raw materiaL

Important development in forestry sector was started since the signing of Letter of Intent (LOI) by Indonesia government in 1998 and the IX CGI meeting in 2000. This has become priority program of the Ministry of Forestry. One of the points was Government Indonesia intent to downsize and restructure wood-based industries in order to balance demand and supply logs and to improve competitiveness of the industries.

Referring to the above policies and considering the international commitment including ITTO, the proposed project is clearly in line with the governments and ITTO's policies.

3. Programmes and Operational Activities

The government of Indonesia has given the priority to the sustainable forest management under the ITTO's objective which is to contribute to the process of sustainable management. There are 5 programmes made in support of sustainable forest management namely:

(1) Combating Illegal Logging, (2) Controlling & suppressing forest fire, (3) Restructuring forest industry sector, (4) Rehabilitation and Conservation ofthe forest resources, and (5) Decentralization in forestry sector.

There were number of programmes and activities undertaken in support of sustainable forest industry in Indonesia especially in related to imbalance of supply and demand including,

On the supply side:

• Plantation development • Introduction of genetically improved fast growing tree species • Reduced impact logging trials • Rehabilitation of degraded forest

2

On the demand side:

• Encourage restructuring and investment in using efficient machinery • Research and promote Under-utilized but potentially valuable Lesser Used Species

(LUS) • Research and provide mechanical property test reports of Lesser Known Species

(LKS) • Increase waste utilization by improvement of engineering processes • Product diversification, promoting and marketing.

In the area of the wood industry sector, the following ITTO projects are being implemented:

• PD 74/01 Rev.l (M) Development and Implementation of Guidelines to Control Illegal Logging for Sustainable Forest Management in Indonesia

• PD 80101 Rev.6 (M) Consolidating Sustainable Forest Management Certification System in Indonesia

• PD 85/01 Rev.2 (n Strategies for the Development of Sustainable Wood­Based Industries in Indonesia

• PD 110/01 RevA (n Program to Facilitate and Promote Adoption of Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) in Indonesia and the Asia Pacific Region

The proposed proj ect to improve processing efficiency would be complementary to the on-going ITTO projects in illegal logging, certification and reduced impact logging to develop a flourishing forest industry sector in Indonesia while meeting all the criteria for sustainable forest management.

In line with Indonesian government efforts to achieve sustainable forest management, Indonesian wood base industries recorded more than 4000 unit processors included Indonesian Sawmill and Wood Working Association (ISWA) members which consist of 1200 processors with strong export orientation has the major programmes in improvement of competitiveness of wood products through provision of market information. To support those programmes, some activities have been undertaken by ISW A such as exhibitions to provide access for members in promoting wood products and publishing annually member's directory. ISWA's working programmes, among others, are:

In the supply of wood materials: to compile the resources, species usage, prices of round log and sawn timber (local market information), to increase efficiency of wood materials in line with sustainable forest management.

In production and industry: to develop efficiency and productivity in production of woodworking to obtain the maximum added value, to guide the members to maximize utilization of wood.

In marketing: to monitor the market development and trend of product commodity, to promote the products through exhibitions and our embassies abroad.

In addition, some research works have been done to find other species for product diversification for industry. Those programs and activities will support the projects proposes which in line with sustainable wood industry in Indonesia.

PART 11: THE PROJECT

1. Project Objectives

1.1. Development Objective

The project's development objective is to increase the contribution of the wood processing industry sector to the national economy through application of appropriate processing technologies.

1.2. Specific Objectives

1.2.1. To improve the national skills and capabilities in processing technologies and in product quality management to ensure the efficient and diversified use of tropical timber

1.2.2. To identify product standards, quality/grading requirements and technical regulations in sawn wood products in international markets.

2. Justification

2.1. Problems to be addressed

Most of the processors, despite their export orientation, do not posses the production competency capable of meeting the market demand in terms of product diversification, used of species and quality for a number of reasons including:

A. Low level of processing efficiency

Efficiency level of wood processing in Indonesia is low compared to other countries, such as Malaysia, Japan, and Canada as reflected in low recovery factor. The above matters were influenced by the following conditions:

• Majority mills are still using old machinery, lack of facilities and weak in service and maintenance caused low production capacity.

• Improper use of raw material and specification machinery. • Untrained and low skill of worker at all levels.

The resulted inefficiency in the larger use of wood raw material is not consistent with the efforts to sustaining the forest resources. Other implies to high cost economy and affected low competitiveness to the selling price of the products in world market.

ITTO Technical Mission to Indonesia has also observed the inefficiency of the wood processing sector in Indonesia and strongly recommended to implement appropriate policy and practical measures to resolve the problem. The project will also address this processing inefficiency problem through the gaps analysis i.e. matching the production competency with market requirements for product diversification and quality.

In the past, forest industries in Indonesia had assumed an almost infinite supply of raw materials. However, today, this perception is not as common as it used to be and raw materials shortages are occurring. In response, the industry has looked for raw materials and how wood can be processed more efficiently

4

Dennis P. Dkystra has recently argued that a 1 percent increase in the amount of wood recovered from forest harvesting, would reduce the total area of tropical forest disturbed over the 50-year period 2001-2050 by almost 150 million hectors (Tropical Forest Update, 2001). Similarly, there would be substantial impacts in the use of raw materials in wood processing factories, if the current recovery rate of wood processing is to increase 3 or 5 percent.

B. Limited technical information on product standards

Lack of information of product specification from destination countries caused products unmatched with market requirement, demand and supply information of certain product in each consumer countries unavailable implies over supply, decrease the selling price and frequently reject and claim on product quality.

Weakness of marketing position causing most products depend on buyer driven and product orientation limited to semi-finished which need further processed in consumer countries.

There is a trend for end users to using more and more specialized products with particular technical specification, most millers continue to producing their conventional product lines mainly due to technological and human resource limitations.

c. Raw material supply problems

In recent years, supply of natural wood is becoming more and more limited. Most of the millers have to utilize lesser known species and planted wood, in terms of species, quantity and quality, as their raw material input. However, many millers have not installed the technologies suitable for processing both natural and planted wood. Some millers may have installed adequate technologies but do not possess the necessary processing skills.

More importantly, many millers have failed to conduct efficient processing and meet market specifications because of neglect on the information on wood properties.

D. Weak quality management

For many millers, quality orientation is weak, leading to inferior products quality, low selling price, high products rejection, and large waste. So there is a need to promote the critical role of the Total Quality Management (TQM) may play in improving the miller operational efficiency, and competitiveness. Promotion of TQM should bring about commitment to quality.

E. Absence of product quality testing facilities

The Forest Education and Training Centre (CFET) is the training agency of Indonesia Ministry of Forestry (MoF). It is mandated by MoF Decree No.1231Kpts/III2001 to carry out education and training for forestry officials within the MoF and other institutions related to forest management. The Forest Products Research and Development Centre (FPRDC) in Bogor is a research and development institute on wood utilization. These two agencies do not have training programmes for wood processing. The current work of the FPRDC has been concentrated on basic wood sciences.

5

In the absence of product quality testing facilities, it is impossible for the millers to pre-test the quality of their products with relative affordable cost prior to exporting. Actually there is a need to asses the feasibility of installing quality testing facilities such as:

• mechanical property of wood, • data format variant species of wood kiln drying system, • carbide tooling for the wood working industry, • fundamentals of tooling and knife grinding, • moisture content measurement, • dehumidifier technology.

An attempt was made to upgrade the equipment installed in its factories for the production of wood based products. However, shortages of capital, technology and skilled manpower, still exist at all levels. The justification of this project lies in upgrading the technology and skills of workers. It is hoped that once this has been achieved, the deficiencies in capital and technology can be resolved through joint­ventures with carefully selected foreign partners, but it must have a broad base of skilled workers and enlightened managers and supervisors well disciplined to assure sustained quality production.

There may be other obstacles faced by the country in the process of industrialization, but as mentioned above, the project will focus on what is considered to be three critical areas;

• human resource development; • utilization of appropriate modem production technology and methods, and • development of markets for exporting these products

Having improvement of timber processing efficiency and trained people at all levels is fundamental to the development of a viable downstream industry, especially in wood processing, which has an excellent potential for contributing substantially to foreign exchange earnings. Since modem equipment and skilled workers who are trained to use them are not sufficiently available, the technology used in production must be both modem and appropriate.

At this moment the members of Indonesian Sawmill & Woodworking Association (ISW A) are producing sawn timber and downstream processed products with data and information on the existing processing units in terms of production capacity, technological sophistication and raw material supply, product marketing but insufficient and inaccurate.

Furthermore, there were gaps between individual mills competency and international demand for processed wood products in terms of products diversity and quality. Yet, as mentioned earlier, there is a pressing need to intensify value added processing on a more sustained basis.

Both technical and financial assistance will be needed for the successful implementation of the project. Since the Pre-project Number PPD 57/02 Rev. 1 entitled "Improvement of Processing Efficiency of Tropical Timber from Sustainable Sources in Indonesia" had been approved and financed by ITTO.

6

This project proposal for the "Improvement of Processing Efficiency of Tropical Timber from Sustainable Sources in Indonesia through application of appropriate processing technologies" as a follow-up to the previous pre-project, cannot be achieved without ITTO's support.

This project will have a locally appointed manager, assisted by counterparts for training and technical information with support staff as needed, and will engage international consultants who will be supported by local counterparts. The outputs will cover basic need for managerial and technical know-how along the concept of quality management and production at the industrial level. There will be continuity of programs as selected trainees will be groomed to become trainers, whilst keeping themselves exposed to current developments and technology. Minor pieces of equipment and teaching aids, needed to ensure the introduction of appropriate modem methods, will also be provided. This project is expected to last 36 months.

2.2. Intended situation after project completion

Upon completion of the project, the existing gaps between the individual mills processing competency with international demand for processed wood products in terms of diversity and quality are decreased. A momentum of the training program will cultivate a culture for continual improvement and a desire for skill and quality upgrading. Appropriate production systems will be applied and people trained under this project will then be able to teach new recruits on a continuous basis.

2.3. Project Strategy

2.3.1. Reasons for selection

Lacks of technical know how and capital being the major hindrance in the development of the wood industry in Indonesia. This project, if approved, will bring in the much needed technology and exposure for the local people and will enable the local industry to achieve higher revenue from its exports. At the same time, the ability to utilize wood to the optimum will discourage excessive cutting of wood and therefore would cause the least damage to the environment.

2.3.2. Lessons drawn from past evaluation

The Indonesian wood industry is partly craft and part mechanized. This is not helpful to producing products on an efficient scale. The income from the export of value added products is minimal, considering the availability of forest resources. Compared to the performance of the neighboring countries, Indonesia lags far behind indicating the lack of efficiency in wood processing and the lack of a well-trained workforce.

Experience from countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, that have recently shown tremendous progress in the export of wood based products, indicate that the best policy is a combination of an appropriate modem technology and a trained labor force. Timber technology training centers are being set up, for example, in Malaysia for the specific purpose of developing appropriate technology to be manned by skilled workers.

2.4. Target beneficiaries

The direct beneficiaries of the project would be the Indonesian wood processors in general; the ISW A members in particular, wood engineers and wood technologists in

7

the industry. Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Industry and Trade, researchers, and academicians will also indirectly benefit from the project through reports and proceedings it will be produce. Other potential beneficiaries include small and medium-scale tree growers and wood processors, policy makers and investors, NGOs and private sector in Indonesia and other ITTO member countries.

2.5. Technical & Scientific Aspects

In 1995, 330 sawmills operated in Indonesia with a total installed capacity of about 4.3 million cubic meters. Indonesian production of sawn wood between 199311994 and 1999/2000 ranged from 2.2 to 2.1 million cubic meters. A study of the pre-project in Kalimantan indicates recovery rates between 40 to 60 percent by volume of the raw material. On average, 55 percent by volume of sawn wood production was turned into wastes. It is estimated that the residues amount to an average of 55%, consisting of 15% sawdust, 25% slabs, 12% trimmings and 3% shrinkage.

The main constraints in the development of wood processing industry are related to raw material supply, low productivity, low level of profitability. The current utilization is hampered by lack of skills and appropriate technologies. No systematic efforts have been made to promote investment in this sector.

High wastage in processing increase wood cost per-output. Productivity improvements in this area offer the most significant opportunities to improve the industry's profitability. Significant improvements could be gained by improving sawing methods and training without major investment. Labor productivity tends to be low in sawn timber production chain. Workers have rarely received proper training.

This project is designed so that, with the availability of current production technology at ISW A (considered adequate for this purpose), efforts will focus on the improvement of timber processing efficiency and training of workers at all levels and on developing a production system that ensures continuous operation on a sustained level. Continuity of the regular update of market information beyond the project period will be possible because of the fact that the project will have trained the trainers and developed the training material as well as identifying the sources of technology and market information.

Another alternative would be to stress on the application of the latest production technology, but this would hardly do justice to the massive lab or force as modem processing technologies have been developed to cut down lab or requirements and manufacturing is mostly performed using integrated production lines. In the case of ISW A would involve tremendously large investments. Modem processing technologies are also better suited for production in very large series, which at present time would cause problems for their introduction in Indonesia because of the need to create, from scratch, markets for these large volumes. This proposes the introduction of a modem system at an appropriate level of technology with a good use of skilled labor. Such a combination is considered best suited to the present situation in Indonesia.

2.6. Economic Aspects

From the economic point of view this project will enable Indonesia to diversify its export of timber processing to value added finished products, thereby increasing its revenue earnings. It will also promote the establishment of new wood based industries and support industries such as maintenance workshops, transport services, packaging,

8

and auxiliary materials. This will result in creating direct employment opportunities. There will be possibilities for the modernized wood industry to cater to the rapidly developing tourism and construction by providing furnishings to the numerous hotels and restaurants and offices that are being set up.

2.7. Environmental Aspects

Environmentally, all care will be taken to ensure a minimum of hazards to workers through the installation on all machines of safety features and the training in safety procedures. In the same vein, reduction of waste will not only increase productivity but also result in a cleaner working place. The increased local processing of timber will contribute to a better economic use of resources and will be seen as a move to counter any trend to escalate logging activities and the export of logs. No major water pollution is envisaged. Air pollution from sawdust and from sprays and polish will be kept to a minimum by installing dust collectors and pressure rooms and other safety measures will also be applied. More importantly, this training project would produce a skilled and motivated workforce who would definitely contribute to higher recovery rates in production. This would certainly have a positive impact on the environment.

2.8. Social Aspects

Because of the project, the resultant benefits of a strong wood based industry will produce, in the long run; enormous multiplier effects in the development of the sector the emergence of support industries will also create further employment, increased wages, and an improved standard of living of workers. Better quality wood products will also be available to the people.

2.9. Risks

The project posed fair risk due to lack of cooperation from key target groups. Another source of risk is related to reliable data especially those pertaining wood species data. To reduce the risks, the main stakeholders such as MoF, other reliable related institutions will be invited to join as a member in Project Steering Committee.

A project progress report will be prepared and submitted to ITTO, the progress report will be available at 6 monthly intervals after project star-up. This report will be prepared under the responsibility ofproject coordinator.

2. Project Completion Report;

A project completion report will be prepared and submitted to ITTO as soon as the project completed and not more than 3 months after.

3. Project Technical Report;

Project technical reports for studies, workshop and training reports will be provided within 3 months of the project completion.

4. Monitoring, Review and Steering committee visit

The project will be subject to monitoring by representatives of ITTO at least once every 12 months. The monitoring mission will visit Executing Agency and relevant field sites.

5. Evaluation

A final evaluation will be conducted based on Project Outputs

3. Future Operation and Maintenance

The initiation and subsequent implementation of the activities of the project will be contingent upon the timely provision by the Executing Agency of the adequate premises, facilities and services required for the effective operation of the project. The equipment, components and materials acquired by the proj ect will be the responsibility of the Executing Agency which, at the completion of the project, will decide on its disposal in accordance with ITTO procedures.

The thrust of the project will be directed to build up the training and development capability at ISW A and to carry out priority activities in the output areas. At the end of the project period, all the planned activities will have been carried out, and the attempted sustainable impact on the local capacities of both the private and public sectors would have been achieved. The project activities are expected to be followed by other national-level programmes for wood processing industry development which would be financed and executed separately.

However, given the importance of the issues involved in the development of the wood processing sector and the identified extensive needs for assistance, it is possible that the execution of tentative national follow-up programs may require additional technical assistance at international level. In such a case a separate proj ect could be formulated in due course to enhance development impacts. This possibility could be considered during an ex-post evaluation of the project so that necessary preparatory action could be timely taken.

ANNEX 3: PROFILE OF EXECUTING AGENCY

This pre-project will be implemented by the Indonesian Sawmill and Woodworking Association (ISWA) in cooperation with Directorate of Forest Products Processing and Marketing, Ministry of Forestry, Indonesia.

1. Background

ISA was established in 1972 and has been renamed ISWA by The National Congress held in Surabaya, Indonesia on October 31, 2002; the initial purpose was to promote the development of wood industrialization, centered on the production of sawn-timber and downstream processed products, and to assist the marketing of the processed wood products in domestic and international markets. In 1998, ISA comprised 1,465 saw-millers of various scale and was organized through seventeen Regional Coordinators stationed in each province of Indonesia where plants were located. Most of products exported between 1972 and 1988 were in the form of sawn-wood.

Imposition of high export tax of sawn-wood since 1988 has forced ISA members to develop further wood processing facilities. Indeed, downstream processing has grown rapidly since then and today, most of the products exported was in the form of semi­finished and finished products consisting of : door & window components and engineered timber doors, solid & laminated finger joint flooring, parquet flooring, skirting and various wood profiles, ship-deck & ship flooring, solid & finger .joint laminating for furniture & housing parts, scantling three layers laminating, dowel, turning, balustrade, and any kind of wood sticks.

ISW A members today are around 500 processors, with strong export orientation. During the last decade, members of ISA have been exporting around 1.2 million m3 of processed products per annum valued at US$ 700 million. ISA members consume around 3.0 million m3 (log equivalent) of wood as raw material. Most of the raw material is obtained from domestic free market in the form of rough sawn timber.

2. Infrastructure

ISWA Headquarters is at Manggala Wanabakti, Indonesia Forestry Center Building, occupying around 400 m2 of floor. ISW A operates an information system called ISW A Wood Data Center (Pusat Data Perkayuan ISW A, widely known as PDPI). The system utilizes contemporary computer technologies and operates under the domain: www.iwwn.com. The system contains up to date information on markets of wood products and processing technologies though with some limitations, and members are free to access the system. At present the President of ISW A is Mrs. Hj. Soewarni and the Secretary General is Mr. Jimmy Purwonegoro. In total the Headquarters employs 15 staff; many of them are forestry university graduates.

3. Current work programmes

ISWA's working programmes, among others, are

In the supply of wood materials: to compile the resources, species usage, prices of round log and sawn timber (local market information), to increase efficiency of wood materials in line with sustainable forest management.

46

In production and industry: to develop efficiency and productivity in production of woodworking to obtain the maximum added value, to guide the members to maximize utilization of wood.

In marketing: to monitor the market development and trend of product commodity, to promote the products through exhibitions and our embassies abroad.

In addition, some research works have been done to find lesser-used species (LUS) for product diversification for industry. Primary information on about 60 LUS has been identified. Those programs and activities will support the project proposes which in line with sustainable wood industry in Indonesia.

ISWA has implemented ITTO pre-project PPD 57/02 (1) "Improvement of Processing Efficiency of Tropical Timber from Sustainable Sources in Indonesia", which was approved and financed at 33rd session of the ITTC in Y okohama, in November 2002. Its experience in implementing PPD 57/02 will substantially facilitate the required work for the current proj ect.
