| Malaysian timber sector pins hopes on Japan imports |
| 09/04/2008 - 12:09 |
Prices of Malaysian timber products increased substantially as shortages of raw materials became critical as a result of tropical thunderstorms. Barring bad weather, it remains to be seen if there are sufficient strong business fundamentals in the international business environment to
lift up the Malaysian timber market in the long run.
However, two foreign brokerages, Merrill Lynch and
Credit Suisse have issued calls to upgrade the timber
sector, according to StarBiz. Prices of plywood have hit
bottom and Japanese regulatory bodies are relaxing some
rules and regulations concerning the Japanese construction
industry. This may help accelerate timber trade with
Japan.
