Dimensions Stock

Teak conversions cover a wide range of products and it is not always possible to describe in detail the technical differences between the varlous classes , Planks boards , flitches , etc,.are usually exported in average dimensions and are mostly intended for re-conversion into rrequired sizes .

On the other hand , decks , margin planks , special scantlings , flooring , etc,. which are generally known as "DIMENSIONS STOCK " have specialized uses and are usually used in sizes supplied and therefore have to follow special specification .

The specifications ate therefore divided into :

  • General Market Specification :-applicable in the case of Planks , Boards , Flitches , etc,. intended for reconversiopn , and
  • Special Market Specification to cover Decks , Margin Planks , Flitches and special Scantlings .At the moment it is not proposed to include specifications of such categories as flooring strips , shingles water levels and railway keys but these may be added later if the volume of trade involved justifies their inclusion,.

Grading Officer are expected to study these rules carefully and use their best judgement in applying them , but they should not let their judgement suersede anything written specifically in the rules themselves .

Teak exports drop from Myanmar

Local experts indicate Myanmar’s market situation is quite erratic at present, especially for teak exports. First quarter comparisons for FY2008 and 2009 show slides in export figures: teak log shipments fell about 60%; hardwood log shipments dropped about 6%; and sawn teak (primarily processed) shipments slid nearly 57%.A year-on-year comparison of tender prices showed mixed results. Average prices of fourth quality and sawing grades 1, 2 and 3 of teak fell up to 16% in June 2009 when compared to 2008 prices. Average prices for the lower sawing grades (5, 6 and 7) rose to a maximum of 80% in June 2009.Prices drops of the higher grades occurred due to a slide in demand, particularly due to declines in European purchasing of these grades during the period specified. Prices for the lower grades that go to Asian markets rose because of short supply and other factors such as purchasing on an FOB basis and better quality of log producing areas.

Hardwood exports improve to India

The teak market is reported to be improving in India.Other markets areas also show some signs of recovery,though somewhat slight. Most analysts are cautious and say it would be premature to make optimistic projectionsat this juncture.The pyinkado market is also reported to be good in India and Vietnam, judging by Myanmar’s shipments to these countries. In contrast, padauk and tamalan is generally shipped to China and Japan. Availability of these species is limited and therefore prices are usually competitive.
