Resumen

Malaysia's wood industry has been heavily focused on foreign markets for the past 20 years, with strong export growth. Malaysia has become heavily dependent on exports as a result of the sector's export-oriented development, making it subject to external uncertainties and shocks, like as the Covid-19 pandemic.



Nevertheless, there is a gap in the local use of wood and wood-derived products. Malaysia's domestic market might be a lifeboat for the wood sector as well as plantation forestry, which is expected to provide jobs and generate revenue for the local communities as the country develops and its population approaches 34 million.



Given these challenges, the development objective of the project is to provide contribution to sustainable and efficient development of Malaysia’s wood industry.



The specific objective of the project is to enhance and diversify domestic consumption and promote local markets of sustainable wood and wood products in Malaysia.



To achieve the specific objective, the project will pursue the strategy of facilitating initiatives towards improvement of regulatory framework, extensity of awareness and promotions activities and building up capacity for relevant stakeholder groups to engage effectively in wood supply chains.
