Myanmar: Demand firming
Market conditions remain almost the same as reported last
month. Demand for Teak is also comparatively good,
some buyers say the market is firming but still fluctuating.
Sales are reported good in the Indian market and interest
from China appears to have picked up a little. Pyinkado
logs are selling very well in India. Other traditional
markets are not currently active.
