a. Diversifying forest products and services that are of high quality and environmentally friendly.

This is achieved through several steps, including: 1. Using innovation and creativity in the production of forestry goods and services. Products must be market oriented, of a high standard, environmentally friendly, and competitive in the global market. Forestry’s research and development division FORDA should evaluate forestry products based on these criteria. 2. Diversification of Non-Tax State Revenue PNBP from the Forest Area. Until now, forestry revenues have been limited to fees applied to timber and non-timber forest product extraction PSDH, DR, IIUPHK and environmental service fees. Fees would also be applied to non-forestry activities in the forest zone, such as mining and plantation development. These fees would be used for funding forestry activities. 3. Applying an incentive system to promote the productivity of workers in the forest industry.

b. Creating a healthy and competitive forestry industry structure. This will be achieved

through several steps, including: 1. Developing innovative and environmentally friendly forest product technologies for creating high added value and market oriented products. This technology will be assessed and developed by governmental and private research and development institutions. 2. Developing an optimal industry structure based on raw material supply potentials, market demand, technology development and availability of capital. The allowable amount and types of forestry operations may be restricted for different locations. To achieve this, regulations and coordination with related institutions will be necessary. 3. Facilitating the availability of sustainable and legal raw materials from natural and planted forests as well as from alternative sources. To achieve this, an information system for forest raw material supply and demand is needed. 4. Supporting the policy for establishing 7 million hectares of planted forest by 2025 to supply 64 million m3 of timber per year. This includes providing incentives for investment in forest plantations. On a national scale, promotion of forestry investment is part of the goal of creating a favorable. 43 5. Human resources development in the forestry sector through improved education, training, and exchange programs.

c. Providing results of innovative and applied forestry research and development. This
