The total export value for these products in 2018 was RM 9.8 billion, representing about 44% of Malaysia’s total export value of RM 22.3 billion for all timber products last year.
Up to May 2019, RM 4.2 billion worth of these products have been exported, according to Mr. Richard Yu, Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC).
“Ever since Malaysian carpenters and builders began to shape and use wood, the furniture, moldings, and BJC industries have grown by leaps and bounds. Today, a wide range of quality value-added products such as wood-based furniture, cornices, wainscoting, dado rails, doors and frames, windows and frames, flooring, decking, picture frames, and laminated beams are produced in Malaysia and exported worldwide,” he notes.
Malaysian wood-based furniture is much sought after by home, resort and property project owners around the world. The use of high-quality materials and timber species such as Rubberwood, Balau, Kembang Semangkok, Nyatoh, Dark Red Meranti, Acacia, and imported species – along with the application of hi-tech manufacturing methods and designs – ensure the acceptance and admiration of Malaysian furniture in more than 160 countries worldwide.
