Myanmar: Demand firming
05/02/2010 - 11:22
Market conditions remain almost the same as reported last month. Demand for Teak is also comparatively good, some buyers say the market is firming but still fluctuating. Sales are reported good in the Indian market and interest from China appears to have picked up a little. Pyinkado logs are selling very well in India. Other traditional markets are not currently active.
