Malaysian timber exports fall to 28-year low
March 20, 2009
Timber traders and market analysts believed that exports of Malaysian timber products could be cut by 40% to 60% in the current year. The Star reported the possibility of this trend as Malaysian exports fell by 27.8% in January 2009, registering RM38.3 billion when compared to January 2008. The figures showed the worst decline in 28 years. Traders do not expect the market to recover before December 2010.
