KUALA LUMPUR: Furniture exports last year saw an increase of RM10.14 billion compared to RM7.58 billion in 2016. "Malaysian furniture is well received as we offer good quality products at reasonable prices. In maintaining local product performance, Mah said the government has also developed design centres to encourage young designers to produce local products. The loan facility amounting to RM100 million with 70 per cent-government surety to encourage automation among the local furniture companies will definitely boost production for export. "Hence, the government will continue to support the development of the furniture industry through various initiatives to ensure that it continues to grow," he said.
