The Ministry of Forestry is considering allowing exports of logs from community forests, Hadi Daryanto, the ministry’s director general of forestry production development, said on Monday.

Community forests are forests jointly owned by the government and local communities, which will eventually become fully owned by the local communities.

Hadi said allowing such timber to be exported would boost the incomes of the local communities and would not result in a lack of domestic timber. But he emphasized that a ban on the export of logs from natural forests would remain in place.

However, Industry Minister MS Hidayat said he was opposed to the plan.
