According to the 2024 Ministry of Forestry Statistics report from the Ministry of Forestry (Kemenhut), several provinces on Sumatra Island have considerably large production forests and limited production forests in 2024.

Production forests (HP) are forests permitted for timber and non-timber production. These forest areas on gentle slopes can be exploited through selective logging or clear-cutting.

Meanwhile, limited production forests (HPT) can also be utilized for timber production, but it is highly restricted to maintain the ecosystem in areas that are typically steep and prone to erosion. If timber is to be harvested from these areas, it must be done through selective logging.

Among the 10 provinces on Sumatra Island, Riau holds the largest total area of HP and HPT, amounting to 3.35 million hectares (ha). This total comprises 2.33 million ha of HP and 1.01 million ha of HPT.

South Sumatra (Sumsel) follows in second place with 1.92 million ha. Specifically, it includes 1.71 million ha of HP and 213.91 thousand ha of HPT.

Third is North Sumatra (Sumut) with a total of 1.34 million ha. This consists of 704 thousand ha of HP and 641.76 thousand ha of HPT.
