Indonesian timber legality certification has \u201cpaved the way\u201d for the nation\u2019s forest products sector to penetrate markets where countries are imposing audit schemes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our country is ahead of others in providing traceable legal forestry products now that exporters are only allowed to market SVLK-certified timber.\u201d<\/p>\n
