Timber firms cut log production

KUCHING: Three Sarawak-based public-listed timber firms Jaya Tiasa Holdings Bhd, Subur Tiasa Holdings Bhd and WTK Holdings Bhd cut their tropical log production last year, resulting in timber supply remaining tight in the state.

Their log output was reduced by between 3% and 16.5% over 2012. Their combined production volume fell by about 225,000 cu m to nearly two million cu m.
