Sep 17, 2007. /Lesprom Network/. Plywood imports dropped 17.9% from June 2007, falling to 3.2 million cubic meters from 3.6 million cubic meters in June, ITTO reported. During the first week of September, prices for plywood also weakened, with the exception of 2.3mm thin boards and 5.5mm medium thick boards of lauan. Additionally, there have been delays in receiving construction permits in July, resulting in lowered plywood production at the domestic level beginning in August. Some plywood importers believe that the amount of plywood received in August could fall below 300 000 cubic meters.
