Synopsis (short abstract) In order to develop the forest sector, it is important to concentrate on the whole value chain, from forest management through to the ready products. Also, in order to increase efficiency and profitability of the wood used while reducing the pressure on the forests, it is necessary to utilize as much of the harvested wood as possible. This can be done e.g. by using different parts from the trees for different products, by using process residuals for specific products and by utilizing remain ing residues as fuel. Often, an industry located relatively close to the forest can form the basis for new, small and middle-scale enterprises working on products other than the original product thus generating more workplaces. The more value that in this way can be added to the harvested wood, the more potential financing can be directed to forest management. This fact sheet illustrates an example of such development in the Indonesian sawmilling industry
