BUSINESS Tuesday, 09 Jun 2020

KUCHING: Sarawak is gradually losing its logs and plywood market shares in key India and Japan markets as it could not compete with Indonesia and some other Asean timber producing countries. According to WTK HOLDINGS BHD

Lumber decreased 52.10 USD/1000 board feet or 12.81% since the beginning of 2020, 354.60 USD/1000 board feet according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity.
Lumber is expected to trade at 332.30 USD/1000 board feet by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate it to trader at 273.47 in 12 months time.
Timber companies have complained that their production costs have spiralled further due to increase in minimum wages as logging and plywood manufacturing are labour intensive
India is traditional key importer of Sarawak round logs and lumber products for decades.According to WTK, all woodworking industries in India have stopped operations due to the lockdown measures to manage the pandemic. On its plywood business, WTK said its revenue had dropped by 11% in 1Q2020 from a year ago as the average selling prices of plywood products had declined about 15% during the same period due to price competition from Indonesian and Japanese plywood producers.
Q2 : April to June will be worst due to MCO , CMCO , RMCO . IDSS n PDT are suspended since end March to June 2020 . Housing loan and car loan payment is postponed until September2020 . Wait for the 2nd Q GDP result.
