| Malaysia: Trade event expected to draw about 50,000 visitors |
| 16/08/2009 - 10:09 |
Organizers of the Malaysia International Commodity
Conference & Showcase (MICCOS), to be held from 13-
16 August 2009, expect the event to draw up to 50,000
visitors. The Malaysian Timber Council will be organizing
a major business-matching session during the event, which
will include at least 49 delegates from 35 companies from
16 countries including China, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
India, Pakistan, Poland, United Arab Emirates and
Uzbekistan. According to The Star Online, about 100
business representatives from 61 Malaysian timber-based
companies will also be participating in the businessmatching
session at MICCOS. The president of the
National Smallholders Association (NASH), Datuk
Aliasak Ambia said the event would provide small
businesses a good opportunity to be updated on the latest
market information on cash crops such as palm oil and
rubber.
Malaysian furniture manufacturers will also be
participating in the Furniture China trade exhibition to be
held at the Shanghai International Exhibition Centre
(SIEC) and the Redstar Macalline Global Furnishing
Trade Center (RMGFTC) from 9-12 September 2009.
Furniture Today reported the trade show will feature 1,800
exhibitors occupying 2.3 million square feet at the SIEC
and another 500 exhibitors occupying about 1.8 million
square feet at the RMGFTC.
New Zealand seen as model for Malaysia’s plantation
development
The Malaysian Deputy Ministry of Plantation Industries
and Commodities Hamzah Zainuddin said that Malaysia
should emulate the management practices of forest
plantations in New Zealand in order to stimulate research
and development in the timber sector. According to
Bernama, the Deputy Minister was leading a delegation
from Malaysia to New Zealand to discuss cooperation
between the two countries in the timber sector.
Drought and haze hit Sarawak
Bernama reported that timber logging activities in
Sarawak were being reduced as a combination of drought
and haze has covered the state of Sarawak. The drought
brought about by the El Niño effect has been depriving
timber logging camps of drinking water and sanitation.
The drought has also created extremely dry conditions in
the forests, making it very susceptible and vulnerable to
fires. Deputy Chief Minister Mr. George Chan, who is also
the chairman of the state Disaster Management and Relief
Committee, has activated disaster operations across the
state. The situation may create a temporary shortage of
logs that will arrest any decline in prices for timber
products in Sarawak. However, prices are unlikely to
strengthen as there are adequate supplies of raw logs and
other timber products in Sarawak.
