Malaysian plywood undergoes quality tests before being exported. KUCHING: Malaysia’s plywood export prices to key Japan market have firmed up due to tight supply of logs for manufacturing activities and shortage of containers to ship the product. Sarawak-based Shin Yang Group, Malaysia’s largest plywood supplier, has raised its export prices twice, once in December 2020 and another last month, according to the Japan Lumber Reports (JLR). However, there was no mention as to how much were the increases in Shin Yang’s export prices. Japan significantly raised its plywood imports from Malaysia to 62,400 cubic meters (cu m) in October 2020, up 20,200 cu m or 47.5% from the previous month, data from Japan Finance Ministry.

Describing the acute shortage of raw materials in Peninsular Malaysia, as well as lower rubberwood supply due to increased latex production, the Malaysian Panel-Products Manufacturers’ Association (MPMA) chairman Datuk Wira Sheikh Othman Rahman said that plywood and panel manufacturers are facing stiff competition from sawmillers in securing a sufficient supply.
