In the natural production forests, controlled
harvesting of commercial and obligatory timber is permitted by the
Government, under the supervision of the Forestry Department. In Brunei
Darussalam, the private logging companies are at the same time sawmill
operators.
This simplifies and unifies the
various activities involved in the logging and sawmilling industries. It
also removes unnecessary intermediary parties that may contribute to
inefficiency and price escalation.
Log extraction from the production forests is based on a quota system, which is subject to periodic review.
