According to The Borneo Post, Malaysia’s Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities has fixed an export value of RM$32.8 billion (US$7.77 billion) for the timber and timber products industry to reach by 2030.

Deputy Minister Willie Mongin stated that the timber industry accounts for the third highest contributor to the country’s agro-commodity sector, with export value of timber and timber products reaching $22.74bn (US$5.38bn) in 2021.

In that export value, Sarawak contributed 15%, with the main exports being plywood, timber and fibreboard, according to Deputy Minister Mongin.

He also mentioned that the income from timber royalties used to be $600 million (US$142 million), but it had decreased to $300m (US$71m) because the country’s “timber cannot be processed for one reason or another, whereas in the past, most of [their] timber came from the native forest”, as quoted by The Borneo Post.

The industry also faces the problem of harvesting Sarawak’s quality timber, since different timber species require different harvesting techniques.

But Deputy Minister Mongin hoped that the industry can obtain guidance from foreign countries, particularly Australia, in order to make the timber industry “more sustainable”, thus “increasing timber output in the upstream level”.

The Malaysian government is also rolling out initiatives to promote the overall sustainability of the timber value chain. Mongin cited the Forest Plantation Development Programme under the 12th Malaysian Plan as one example, and encouraged industry players to take advantage of such initiatives and contact the ministry to get their applications processed.

俄罗斯反应
俄罗斯官方早些时候称，西方“惩罚”虽然非常严重，但俄罗斯早已做好了准备，俄罗斯会对各种“惩罚”进行分析，做到逐一击破，以保护俄罗斯的利益。
俄罗斯工业和贸易部提议，今年年底前，禁止向“不友好国家”出口木材及其系列制品。
造成的结果
（1）俄罗斯木制品产量下降40%
俄罗斯绿色和平组织森林部门负责人表示，最有可能情况是，到今年年底俄罗斯木制品的总产量将下降40%，甚至有可能减少70%，对高科技企业发展的投资可能几乎完全停止。
与欧洲、美国和日本公司及消费者的关系破裂，会使俄罗斯木材综合体完全更依赖中国木材市场和中国投资者。
（2）俄罗斯将扩大对亚洲国家的木材出口
俄罗斯《生意人》援引消息人士称，俄罗斯林业企业不得不把产品出口从欧洲国家转向亚洲国家，亚洲国家所占份额将会出现增长。图片报道称，虽然林业行业还没有受到直接制裁，但俄企已经面临对欧木材出口封锁。亚洲国家所占份额将不可避免地出现增长，但这需要时间。据 WhatWood 公司数据，目前，中国是俄罗斯木材产品的主要进口国，2020年，对华出口额占该公司出口总额的35%，欧洲占29%，独联体国家占19%。
