What PERUM PERHUTANI does

PERUM PERHUTANI is an Indonesian state-owned forestry enterprise (Badan Usaha Milik Negara) founded in 1961 and headquartered in Jakarta Selatan. Under Government Regulation No. 72 of 2010, the company holds an exclusive mandate to manage state forest resources across the islands of Java and Madura, covering approximately 2.35 million hectares organized into 57 Forest Management Units (KPH), 337 Resortan Pemangku Hutan (BKPH), and 1,592 Resort Polisi Hutan (RPH), and operating through three regional divisions (West Java & Banten, Central Java, East Java) plus the Perhutani Forestry Institute (PeFI). It executes its mandate through wholly-owned operating units including KBM Penjualan (sales), KBM Industri Hasil Hutan (processed products), KBM Ecotourism, and KBM Industri Sagu Papua (sago processing).

The company's core technology stack centers on sustainable forestry techniques, most notably its proprietary Jati Plus Perhutani (JPP) superior teak variety developed through stek pucuk cutting propagation, supplemented by AppSheet-based digital applications for field plant evaluation and reporting. Product lines span timber (teak, pine, mahogany, sonokeling, sengon), non-timber forest products (gondorukem/gumrosin, turpentine, cajuput/eucalyptus oil, honey), biomass (wood pellets and chips), agroforestry crops (paddy, corn, coffee, sugarcane, cloves, rubber, porang), and nature-based solutions for carbon sequestration supporting Indonesia's 2060 net-zero target. Operations are supported by eight downstream processing facilities producing gondorukem/turpentine and eucalyptus oil, and 1,000+ ecotourism destinations including Kawah Putih, Tretes Foresta Resort, and Karaha Bodas.

The business model combines direct enterprise sales through KPH units and wood stacking yards, agent/distributor networks for non-wood products, partnership cooperation agreements with industry and village institutions (including 4,668 LMDH community partnerships), and direct-to-consumer ecotourism. Pricing for timber and non-timber products is not publicly disclosed and is determined via auction mechanisms, partnership agreements, and direct negotiation. The company is wholly owned by the Government of Indonesia with capital in the form of separated state assets rather than shares; control is exercised through the Ministry of BUMN via an appointed Board of Directors and Board of Supervisors. International certifications held include SNI ISO 9001:2015, PHPL Sustainable Production Forest Management, and voluntary FM-FSC across all FMUs.
