“…Large-scale production of wood and palm oil raises the issue of deforestation (Austin et al 2019) which is a particular problem in the export of forestry commodities. Import and export of timber forest products can cause pollution and environmental impacts that are of great concern (Tian et al 2021) including the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions (Pendrill et al 2019) and reduced biodiversity (Green et al 2019).…”

Large-scale companies carry out forestry industry export activities. PT SLJ Global Tbk is one of the actors in this activity. The research's objectives are to analyze the factors that affect the company's plywood exports and to identify the managerial policies of the company's plywood exports. This research uses secondary data in the form of monthly time series data form January 2014 to December 2020. The Error Correction Model (ECM) is used to analyze the factors that affect the company's plywood export volume. The factors that have a positive and significant effect in the long-term model are the production volume and the previous period's production volume. The factors that have a positive and significant effect on the short-term model are production volume, export prices, international prices, and production volumes for the previous period. The managerial implications are increasing productivity, maintaining production stability, increasing plywood quality, and increasing export marketing. Suggestions for company are to maintain the stability of raw materials, innovate products, increase investment, require new markets, and analyze and evaluate marketing and its correlation with the company's production aspects.

“…MEREC was introduced by Keshavarz-Ghorabaee et al in 2021 and is being approved as MEREC is an effective tool for determining objective weights of criteria [12]. Instead of MEREC, the other objective weighting method was usually used in forest-related topics such as entropy [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. There are many new studies that use this new method, and it is being rapidly explored in various fields from 2021 until now.…”

Peninsular Malaysia has approximately 13.22 million acres of land, with approximately 5.69 million acres forested throughout the state. The forests of peninsular Malaysia will also produce millions of cubic metres of logs, sawn timber, plywood, veneer, and moulding by 2021. Because the forest produces so many resources, it also causes a slew of issues, such as illegal logging and flash floods. SFM takes a holistic approach to ensuring that forest operations provide social, environmental, and economic benefits, that competing needs are balanced, and that forest functioning is preserved and improved today and in the future. The goal of this research is to rank the criteria for three critical dimensions: environmental, economic, and social, that will affect the level of sustainability of forest management in Peninsular Malaysia. This study employs the Method Based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) to identify the objective weight and rank all the criteria. The result shows that there are three criteria that have a big impact on all dimensions and another three criteria may not be included since they have no impact on the respective dimensions. With all conclusions, it shows that MEREC is a consistent and reliable method to be considered.

The purpose of this research is to study the changes in the market structure of China’s pulp and paper product imports. In particular, the import trade environment and market layout of Chinese pulp and paper products have changed under the international context of the coronavirus pandemic and the Sino-US trade dispute and the domestic policy context of zero imports of Chinese waste paper. This study attempts to fill the gap regarding the influencing factors of market structure, while contributing new ideas on China’s trade in pulp and paper products. Based on pulp and paper product import and export trade data from 2005 to 2021, a trade gravity model was used to explore the changes in the share of China’s trade partners for pulp and paper product imports and their influencing factors. The results indicated that the outbreak of COVID-19 led to a significant increase in China’s imports of packaging paper products, bringing about an increase in Indonesia’s status as a partner in China’s pulp and paper product trade. The US-China trade dispute had an impact on pulp and paper product trade between the two countries, with China’s tax countermeasures causing the US to lose its status as a trading partner in China for pulp and paper product imports. The center of gravity for paper product imports has moved from the US and Japan to Indonesia and Russia. The restrictions on waste paper imports have shifted the focus of China’s paper raw material imports, with the US no longer being the main importer of China’s paper raw materials. Specifically, the main importers of wood pulp are Brazil and Chile, while the main importers of waste paper pulp are Thailand and Malaysia. In the future, China needs to continuously strengthen dialogue with the United States to resolve trade disputes and create a favorable environment for trade in pulp and paper products. At the same time, China’s paper enterprises should strengthen the expansion of the Southeast Asian market and reduce dependence on the US market, and China should continue to improve the waste paper recycling system and improve the utilization rate of domestic waste paper.
