West Papua Province has the largest area of production forests in Indonesia. Quoting data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the area reached 14.81 million hectares (ha) in 2020.

West Kalimantan ranks second with a production forest area of 9.74 million ha. Central Kalimantan and Papua follow with areas of 9.27 million ha and 5.44 million ha, respectively.

To date, the Indonesian government classifies forests into three types: protected forests, conservation forests, and production forests. Among the three, production forests have the largest land area.

The total area of production forests nationally was recorded at 68.83 million ha in 2020. This area consists of 26.78 million ha of limited production forests (HPT), 29.2 million ha of production forests (HP), and 12.84 million ha of convertible production forests (HPK).

Production forests are forest areas whose products can be used or harvested, both in the form of timber and non-timber. Examples of the utilization of production forests include land for developing specific areas, or as a source of forest products that can be traded.
