Sarawak losing wood market share to Indonesia, WTK says
BUSINESS Tuesday, 09 Jun 2020
KUCHING: Sarawak is gradually losing its logs and plywood market shares in key India and Japan markets as it could not compete with Indonesia and some other Asean timber producing countries. According to WTK HOLDINGS BHD
, Indonesia and other Asean countries have competitive edge over Sarawak because of favourable policies and strong government support they have received.
India is traditional key importer of Sarawak round logs and lumber products for decades.According to WTK, all woodworking industries in India have stopped operations due to the lockdown measures to manage the pandemic. On its plywood business, WTK said its revenue had dropped by 11% in 1Q2020 from a year ago as the average selling prices of plywood products had declined about 15% during the same period due to price competition from Indonesian and Japanese plywood producers.
