Cebu's furniture industry laments over some provisions on the draft of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) roadmap for economic integration of wood-based industry, saying some provisions appear to be detrimental to the growth of the local industry.


The wood-based industry is one of the 11 priority sectors being looked at for the planned economic integration within the ASEAN. However, the furniture sector had not been given importance, said Ruby Salutan CFIF executive director.

                    [Summary] => To help improve the quality and design capability of furniture makers, the Cebu Furniture Industries Foundation Inc. (CFIF) earmarked P2 million to fund a Research & Development Program.


The R&D program of CFIF is aimed at "raising the bar" of Cebu furniture manufacturing standard, especially in sustaining its niche in design, as other competing countries are spending large amount to snatch Philippine-made furniture share in the world market.
