The National Timber Industry Strategic Plan (NTISP) 2026-2030 was launched at the World Wood Day (WWD) 2026 celebration in Dewan Galeri Glulam, Johor by the Ministry of Plantations and Commodities (KPK).
The plan is envisioned to drive the transformation of the sector towards high technology while also being a catalyst to change the industry’s perception from 3D to 3S (Skills, Sustainable, and Safety) in order to attract young workers.
Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad, Minister of Plantations and Commodities, emphasised in his speech delivered by Datuk Larry Sng Wei Shien, Chairman of the Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB), that wood must now be elevated as a technology product, design product, and high-value export product that drives the country’s green economy.
The launch ceremony was also attended by Dato’ Yusran Shah Mohd Yusof, the KPK’s Secretary-General.
WWD 2026, with the theme “Malaysian Timber: Sustainability at the Core of Excellence,” is supporting the ecosystem to encourage the next generation by presenting machine aids to MSME (Micro-Small-Medium Enterprises) entrepreneurs, as well as presenting World Wood Day Photography Competition awards.
Visitors could also see various interactive exhibitions at the agency and entrepreneur booths, as well as a special exhibition space with a collection of creative photos from the photography competition.
The ministry said that it is committed to strengthening smart collaboration with all parties in order to keep the country’s timber products competitive in the global market.
