The Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB) is a statutory body under the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities, dedicated to overseeing and advancing Malaysia’s timber sector. Our main objectives include promoting sustainable forest management, improving timber processing technologies, and ensuring high-quality timber products for both local and international markets.

MTIB plays a key role in supporting industry players, from small-scale producers to large manufacturers, by providing training, research, and financial assistance. We also helps Malaysian timber businesses access global markets by setting industry standards and promoting eco-friendly timber products.

Sustainability is a core focus of MTIB, aligning with Malaysia’s commitment to responsible forestry. The board works closely with stakeholders to encourage certification programs and environmentally friendly practices, ensuring the long-term viability of Malaysia’s timber industry while contributing to the national economy.
