Supply woes for plywood players


KUCHING: Tightness in supply has driven the export prices of hardwood plywood manufactured in Sarawak to surge between 24% and 65% over the past 12 months.

Many plywood mills in the state had to scale down their production volumes in recent years due to prolonged log shortage, increase in production costs as well as weak prices for plywood products in the export market.
