The Ministry of Forestry (Kemenhut) confirmed that the wood found in Lampung was not wood washed away due to flooding in Sumatra, after conducting an inspection on the West Coast.
Director of Forest Product Contributions and Entrepreneurs of the Directorate General of Forest Management Lestari (PHL) of the Ministry of Forestry, Ade Mukadi, said the cayus' came from an accident with a hashtag booster from Forest Utilization Business Licensing (PBPH) owned by PT Minas Pagai Lumber operating in Mentawai, West Sumatra.
"The booster engine and it has been hit by a storm since November 6, 2025, so there are a lot of wood falling from the booster tag. The barcode on the wood is a marker of SVLK (Pount Legality Verification System) which is checked for validity / origin of the source of the wood," said Ade as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 9.
