Synopsis (short abstract) One private sector or several? This question arises whenever issues linked to the private sector, a major player in the forest industry, are addressed. How best to analyse such a wide variety of actors? In other words, what does a multinational have in common with a pitsaw operator using a simple chainsaw? The approach selected may be based on size (number of employees, turnover), position in the value chain, from upstream (the forest) to downstream (processing, export etc.), or the “nationality ” of the capital involved. Depending on the country, it may be essential to distinguish between log producers, sawyers, plywood manufacturers and carpenters, not to mention charcoal burners, who are major links in the chain. Another fundamental point is to offer a diagram explaining any possible interconnections between the various players (Purnomo et al. 2013). It is a complex subject, and things get even more complicated when the concept of legality is brought into the picture.
