China's furniture exports remain strong

Furniture exports have extended their earlier strong performance,

and even rises in the price of raw materials put some pressure on furniture companies in Jiangsu province’s Haian city,

which has the largest furniture export base in eastern China.

Since early this year, the price of New Zealand pine has risen 40 percent,

Liu Chiyong, a timber seller in a raw material market in Haian told CCTV.

Despite this, the demand still exceeds the supply.

Overall, sales rose at least 20 percent from the previous year, Liu said,

adding that last year, monthly turnover stood at 6-7 million yuan, and the figure

maintained at 7-8 million yuan this year.
