Minister for Forest and Climate Change, Douglas Tomuriesa, said, he is
putting a stop to round log export. The minister yesterday, went strongly warning, for the trend to stop. The move is in line with the National Executive Council's decision to encourage downstream processing of logs in the country. "'Mi laik tok save olsem that mipla i no nap renewim wanpla mo FMA, wanpla mo FCA, or Timber Permit, mipla i no nap renewim. We will comply to the NEC direction which says that following cabinet endorsement. The Minister for Forestry in September of 2009 announced the government policy to gradually phase out round logging export and increase domestic processing. In line with this new policy, new past management areas or timber concessions will be allocated to support downstream processing with no round logging export entitlements". Comments are closed.
