木材价格的迅速回升和工业化国家对木材需求的复苏,虽然并不是完全出乎意料之外,但也使马来西亚木材业感到惊异。现在马来西亚的木材业却必须克服木材短缺的问题。在过去的一年里,有十四种原木的价格平均上涨了20％,其中如马六申柚木等一些特种木材,目前的价格比1975年4月的价格上涨了一倍。去年锯木的价格也上涨了42％。 The rapid recovery of timber prices and the recovery of timber demand in industrialized countries, while not entirely unexpected, have also astonished the Malaysian timber industry. The timber industry in Malaysia now has to overcome the shortage of timber. In the past year, prices of fourteen logs have risen by an average of 20%. Among them, some special lumber such as mahogany teak has now doubled prices from April 1975. Last saw saw prices rose 42%.
