Institute OF FORESTERS OF AUSTRALIA A Perspective on Tropical Plantation Development Over the Past Two Decades 15 August 2017 Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS The geographic focus of this presentation is SE Asia - Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, geographies further north: Southern China, Vietnam, Laos and Pacific countries Fiji Solomon Islands Focus Primary Secondary Tertiary Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

PULPMILLS CREATED REGIONAL DEMAND Big pulp mills developments have created a large increase in pulpwood demand and led to significant tropical plantation development to support the industry Mill examples Approx. start date Indicative Annual Wood Requirement (million m3) Country PT.

INDONESIA’S INDUSTRIAL PULPWOOD PLANTATIONS Indonesia’s industrial pulpwood plantations expanded the fastest and today covers an estimated area of about 2.5 million net planted hectares Plantations developed by Indonesian pulp companies Initial species selection focused on Acacia mangium and Acacia crassicarpa Early MAI observations in the late 1990’s for Acacia mangium in Sumatra was ~ 18-25m3/ha/a over a 6 – 7 year rotation; in later years improved to about 22 – 35 3/ha/a before starting to decreasing significantly due to onset of disease A. mangium plantation productivity on Borneo island (West Kalimantan, Sarawak, Sabah) typically less, likely due to differences in soil productivity Tree plantations were competing for land with palm oil plantations in SE Asia…. and lost; this resulted of large areas of plantations (A.crassicarpa) being developed on peat soils from 2000 onwards – in some cases up to 10m deep peat Unique skills required to mange tree plantations on peat; initial productivities on peat were in the 15 – 20 m3/ha/a range but later improved. R&D efforts were directed towards tree genetics and silviculture. Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

THAILAND AND VIETNAM’S PULPWOOD PLANTATIONS Plantation development in Thailand and Vietnam are largely smallholder owned Thailand Estimated 95% of the country’s eucalypt resource of ~700 000 ha is privately owned1 Plantation development by farmers were initially incentivized by the Thai Government and later by the Thai pulp & paper companies. Farmers grow tree crops on agricultural land and are provided with seedlings. Eucalyptus camaldulensis is predominant pulpwood species in Thailand. The Thai pulp & paper industry is self-sufficient and exports some woodchips. Vietnam The Vietnamese government, supported by ACIAR and CSIRO, encouraged farmers to growth A.mangium or A. mangium hybrid trees on their land. Estimated total acacia resources of 1.5 million ha (of which ~1/3 is unrecorded smallholders)1 The market for Vietnam plantation logs include chip exports (China / Japan), domestic furniture industry and more recently pellets in South Korea and Japan. In the past decade, Vietnam became the largest woodchip exporter in the Asia Pacific region, bypassing Australia. 1 Hidden assets: Asia’s smallholder wood resources and their contribution to supply chains of commercial wood, S.J. Midgley, P.R. Stevens & R.J. Arnold, Australian Forestry, Feb 2017 Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

CHINA’S SOUTHERN HARDWOOD PLANTATIONS China’s eucalyptus plantations in the south predominantly supplies the local plywood industry About 80% of China’s eucalyptus plantations are privately owned, 15% by industry and 5% by the State. Estimated net planted Eucalyptus area is about 4.5 million ha; the main provinces are Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian. Main hardwood species in the south are hybrids of E.urophylla and/or E.grandis. Indicative average growth rates are 20 to 25 m3/ha. Plantations are often fragmented, on steep terrain with difficult access Logistics combined with manual labour costs results in relatively high delivered wood prices. Plantation logs is used most for plywood production, used for concrete forming / construction. China’s large pulpmills relies largely on imported woodchips. Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd OTHER PLANTATIONS Plantations other than pulpwood included those for veneer and sawnwood and are of smaller scale Significant areas of plantations for veneer/plywood and sawnwood in tropical Asia are largely smallholder owned due to shortage of land for conventional forestry models: Common species: Gmelina arborea (white teak) in Solomon Islands Anthocephalus cadamba (jabon) in Indonesia (Java) Falcataria moluccana (falcataria) in Indonesia (Java) Tectona grandis (teak) – Malaysia, Indonesia, PNG, Cambodia Hevea brasiliensis (rubber) - Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia Swietenia macrophylla (mahogany) plantations in Fiji, Eucalypts, Acacias and others These plantations are typically scattered; available statistics are limited but make very significant contributions to the national economy and wood supply Sufficient scale in any one location to support larger scale industries is important Silviculture management often suboptimal due to lack of skills / access to capital Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

A PARALLEL DECLINE IN NATIVE FOREST HARVEST AND TRADE A global trend towards certified sustainable forestry as well as national policies fighting illegal tropical forest logging resulted in a significant decline in native forest exports China Industrial Tropical Roundwood imports, thousands m3 Malaysia /Indonesia Plywood exports, thousands m3 5,000 10,000 4,000 -83% 00 3,000 2,000 1,000 03 00 03 06 09 12 15 16 06 SKorea Industrial Tropical Roundwood imports, thousands m3 4,000 09 3,000 -38% 2,000 -85% 12 1,000 00 03 06 09 12 15 16 15 Malaysia Laos Vietnam Indonesia Malaysia Myanmar Indonesia Thailand Source: GTA, Margules Groome databases Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd

CRITICAL ISSUES FOR TROPICAL PLANTATIONS Tropical plantations faces significant issues going forward; underinvestment in R&D, skills and technologies risks the future of these plantations Strong and capable regional / national level research organizations are lacking Clear and unequivocal ownership of the land and the trees Unsympathetic legal and regulatory frameworks Environmental and social ‘license’ Indonesia Disease is driving species change and R&D is in catch-up mode: Ganoderma root rot fungus Ceratocystis fungal disease Declining yields on mineral soils (relative to 10 years ago) Speed is a major issue; large Indonesian companies plant ~200,000+ ha/yr. Reaction times need to be really fast Access to skills and technology Forestry school curricular lag behind China Wood cost competitiveness in the long-term (both R&D and technology problem) Earlier social backlash against expanding Eucalyptus resource Malaysia (~400 000 ha Acacia / Eucalyptus plantations) Wood cost competitiveness (both R&D and technology problem) Stagnant domestic market Margules Groome Consulting Pty Ltd
