Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Environment and Forestry Ministry is planning to increase non-tax state revenues (PNPB) in 2015 by Rp500 billion from the utilization of forest area during a meeting with the House of Representatives' Budget Committee here on Monday.
According to the ministry, the increase will raise its PNPB to Rp4.7 trillion in 2015 from Rp4.2 trillion in the previous year.
To obtain the extra revenue, the ministry will issue more forest utilization permits.
The target of Rp4.7 trillion is based on the assumption that the timber production will reach 10 million cu meters, consisting of 9 million cu meters from natural wood production and one million cu meters from timber utilization licenses.
The ministry is also targeting to receive revenues from more than 25 million cu meters of wood from timber estates, with the new tariff of Rp90 thousand per cu meter.
The Rp4.7 trillion does not include revenues from recreational services projected at Rp43 billion, up Rp14 billion from Rp29 billion in the previous year. (WDY)
