Potential “Leakage” of Forestry and Mining Sector Revenue in the Regions: Illustration from Tebo and Merangin, Jambi Province

This study explores potential “leakage” of forestry and mining sector revenues at the local level, with a focus on Tebo Regency and Merangin Regency, Jambi Province. This study aims to analyze the realization and potential of revenue in the two districts, which have a Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of One Licensing Information (SIP) in the mining and plantation sectors. The main focus of this study is PNBP wood (PSDH and DR) in Merangin and Tebo Districts, as well as coal IUP royalties in Tebo District. The findings are expected to provide an overview of the potential for revenue that is not yet optimal at the local level.

This report is part of a study conducted by Article 33 Indonesia to map strategic issues related to the forestry and mining sectors at the regional level. Each district has different revenue characteristics, and this study aims to identify patterns of revenue leakage that occur and provide policy recommendations that can help improve the management of the sector at the local level. This study also aims to provide a deeper picture of the revenue potential that can be maximized with more effective implementation of SIP.

This report is part of a series of studies on “Potential Leakage of Revenue from the Forestry and Mining Sectors in the Regions,” which digs deeper into how the management and transparency of revenues from the natural resources sector can be improved.
