Wood material sources from Cambodia have become exhausted: VN Ministry of
Industry and Trade
Woodwork industry thirsty for materials 09/10/2008
VietNamNet Bridge – The thirst for wood materials has become more serious than
ever before as Vietnam has been relying on material imports while supply
sources have become tighter.The demand for wood material imports has been
increasing sharply while sources of supply have been diminishingAccording to
the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the demand for wood material imports has
been increasing sharply while sources of supply have been diminishing. Sources
in Laos and Cambodia have become exhausted, while material prices in Malaysia,
the main supplier for Vietnam, are increasing day by day.Increased fuel prices
have made it more expensive to ship wood materials from more distant markets.
Meanwhile, a lot of export countries, like Russia, have increased export taxes
on wood materials.Experts say that prices of imported wood have increased by
40-100%.In a recent workshop on woodwork exports, Nguyen Ton Quyen, Chairman of
the Wood and Forestry Products Association, said that Vietnam needs to import
3mil cu m of wood materials a year, worth $1bil, from ASEAN countries, Africa,
South America and North America. Vietnam’s woodwork industry has been relying
on imports for 80% of its supply.In general, enterprises begin conducting
negotiations with foreign partners in the third and fourth quarters for imports
of wood materials the following year. However, Tran Quoc Manh, Deputy Chairman
of the HCM City Fine Arts and Woodwork Association, said that enterprises now
do not have capital to import materials. The tightened monetary policies have
kept woodwork enterprises from bank loans.“As enterprises do not have money to
import materials, the woodwork industry will have no material in 2009, which
will certainly push enterprises against the wall,” Quyen said.Dao Van Trang,
General Director of Khai Vy, a big woodwork producer and exporter, once
suggested buying forest in South America to provide materials for Vietnamese
woodwork producers. However, he was not able to follow up on this idea because
there was no regulation that allowed it.“If we had been allowed to buy forest
at that time, the value of the forest would have increased by ten-fold,” Trang
said.The serious shortage of wood materials has prompted Vietnamese producers
to flock to Laos to engage in afforestation. Meanwhile, Trang believes that it
would be better to develop local forests than afforest neighbouring countries.
He said that the state should assign individuals or private run enterprises to
develop forests.Vo Truong Thanh, Chairman and General Director of Truong Thanh
Woodwork Joint Stock Company, said that Truong Thanh plans to develop 100,000
ha of forest in 10 years, which would allow the company to control its material
sources.Thanh said that as of 2016, Truong Thanh will be able to supply
500,000-1mil cu m of wood per year, or 20-30% of the demand of the whole
country at that time.Truong Thanh has purchased 2,000 ha of 4-6 year-old forest
in the Central Highlands and central region. It expects to be able to supply
50,000 cu m of wood/year in two years’ time, which will be provided for six of
the company’s processing workshops.

CHINESE, A CHINESE IN CAMBODIA Sunday September 14, 2008Bangkok Post STAFF
REPORTERS
Ly Yong Phat, the businessman behind the major developments planned on Koh
Kong, is no stranger to controversy having been criticised by several human
rights agencies for forcibly removing villagers from their land in 2006.Also
known as Phat Suphapha, he is a senator in the ruling Cambodian People's Party
and one of the wealthiest men in Cambodia who counts many of the country's most
powerful people as his close associates.Mr Phat came under fire from the Asian
Human Rights Commission (AHRC) for the forced eviction of 250 families in the
Chi Khor Leu commune in Sre Ambel district of Koh Kong province on Sept 19,
2006. According to the AHRC report, military police were involved in the
eviction, destroying the villagers' crops and bulldozing houses. Seven people
were injured in the confrontations, including two villagers who suffered bullet
wounds.The Cambodian government granted Mr Phat's Agriculture Duty Free-Shop
Development Company two 10,000-hectare concessions in the commune, which the
villagers had been living in since 1979, the report said.Human Rights Watch,
Global Witness, FORUM-ASIA, the Asian Human Rights Commission and the
International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) issued a joint statement in
Oct 2006 condemning the evictions.He offered compensation of $50 per hectare
when human rights lawyers were asking for a fair market value of $500-$1,000
per hectare, human rights workers later discovered.IN CAMBODIA THE CHINESE
CULTURE REVEALS THE ART OF BRIBERY,THIVERY AND CHEASTING .IT REVEALS ALSO THE
CHINESE INVESTORS IN CAMBODIA ARE MUCH MORE PIRATES, AND LOW CREATURE ON
EARTH.HERE IS WHY.
THE BEST OF ALL PIRACY IS MADE BY THE CHINESE.Whether in China, Thailand , now
in Cambodia. The Chinese are best in this profession. Cambodia to crack down on
pirated movies, music.
Bangkok Post - Sep 08, 2008
Phnom Penh (dpa) - Cambodia would begin raids on shops suspected of selling
pirated movie DVDs and music CDs, a senior official warned Monday. ...
dpa reporter is hiding the truth about the chinese in Cambodia. dpa is not
honest in this reporting. It's a shame .
Making friends with the Chinese communists, former Cambodian King Norodom
Sihanouk is obliged to respect the Chinese communist conditions:1.To help and
support the Vietnamese communists in the war with the American .2. To abandon
the Khmer culture of Honesty.3. King Sihanouk must adopt the Anti America
stand.From 1956-2008 King Sihanouk became a Chinese communist good friend..But
what does Cambodia benefit from this evil Chinese relationship, as of today the
former King Sihanouk was off to Beijin, and Cambodia remains occupied by
Vietnam , a UN member country against 10 UN resolutions?
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST CULTURE IS BASED ON DUPERY,CHEATING, AND FULL OF LIES.
MAO ZEDONG IS THE EVIL MENTOR OF NORODOM SIHANOUK THAT BROUGHT MILLIONS OF
CAMBODIAN DEATH THROUGH HIS DISCIPLE, FORMER KING SIHANOUK .
The Chinese with multiples nationalities, coming under the label as foreign
investors, are in fact the EVIL IN THE LAND OF CAMBODIA .. They came to destroy
Cambodia. THEY ARE THE NEW COLONIALISTS . The Thai Chinese are the lowest
creature on earth in Cambodia ( see the Thai Chinese group the Teng Bunma with
their promotion of drug consumption, prostitution, illegal logging..)While
cambodia remains occupied by Vietnam against this UN resolution:Oct. 21, 1986
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with
13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from
Cambodia.Vietnam does not respect the 10 UN resolutions and UN Charter as of
today.The Vietnamese invaders using the label "Cambodian" CPP Official as
camouflage in order to cover their true ID and to run Cambodia in violation of
this UN resolutions are : TE DUONG DARA( is a Vietnamese ) the $US 100 billion
dollar deal with 13 oil firms Tao Seng Hour( a Vietnamese ) a former Minister
of Agriculture .. Chan Sarun(a Vietnamese ) the current Minister of Agriculture
and forestry(is Vietnamese ). He is involved in illegal loggins.National
Assembly summons the Minister of Agriculture for clarification(According to the
Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade, the demand for wood material imports
has been increasing sharply while sources of supply have been diminishing.
Sources in Laos and Cambodia have become exhausted, while material prices in
Malaysia, the main supplier for Vietnam, are increasing day by day.) Bury
