The analytical method used isAnalysis (IO) ofbackward linkage and forward linkagefrom the rubber plantation sector as a provider of inputs and users of inputs as well as the impact on the economy in Riau Province. The results showed thatProduction from upstream to downstream of pulp commodities can be divided into several industries, including the forestry and logging sector, the textile industry sector, the paper industry sector or paper goods, printing, and recording media reproduction.
