Southeast Asia has long supported worldwide timber demand. However, the supply and demand situation for natural forest timber has tightened up in recent years, with a decline in forested land and stricter control of illegal logging.
Sumitomo Forestry is working to provide a stable timber supply over the long term by increasing production capacity and through advancing large-scale forestation.
