The narrative preferred by many if not most economic commentators is that the Modi government has not done well by the economy. The near- consensus is that the promises Prime Minister Narendra Modi made during the 2014 election campaign have not been delivered, and the prospects for the immediate future are not bright.

Certainly, there is no gainsaying that the government has bungled with key economic initiatives, regressed to protectionism, and done poorly on the jobs and trade fronts.

Before going further, it is worth noting the socio-economic changes that Mr. Modi has wrought: Dramatic improvements in access to nancial services, clean cooking fuel, toilets, electricity, digital transactions, and now free medical insurance, not to mention cash handouts for farmers. In addition, as Ms Sitharaman mentioned, macroeconomic balances are comfortable, including on core ination. Her reference to the scal challenge fell short of an explanation and therefore offered no answer. Still, the transport infrastructure has improved, as has the digital one. There is striking growth in data consumption, and improved access to higher education. In another few years the metrics on all of the above should improve further. Many lives are being transformed.

Mr. Modi's critics often fail to acknowledge these changes and their importance. This may well be because the failure are both manifest and urgent: the worsening picture on employment, the loss of momentum in consumption, its downstream impact on investment, the stagnation in exports, legislative inaction on key aspects of policy reform, the many challenges confronting farmers, and much else. To that list you could add the fear factor and institutional erosion.

Mr Modi and his cabinet colleagues need to get over their hostility to any and all criticism on such issues, and frontally address the jobs problem because it is central to tacking the growing inequality and uneven sharing of the benets of growth.

More needs to be done on more fronts, and sometimes differently, than is now the case.

If that effort is mounted and growth revives, the Modi government's economic record could still shine.

Happy Holi !

UP: COURT DISMISESS PROVISIONAL LICENSE (Extracts from the Judgement) G

rievance of the applicant is that vide notice dated 01.03.2019, the State proposes to give license for 1350 new units which is not viable in view of limited wood available in the State. It is also submitted that the State has ignored the order of this Tribunal dated 11.09.2018 in O.A. No. 805/2017, Kshitij Agnihotri v. Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change & Ors. quashing exemption to certain categories of forest species from the restrictions on cutting of the forest. In connected matter being O.A. No. 313/2019, grant of provisional licenses for establishment of about 1350 units by wrongly assuming availability of the wood as per FSI report dated 08.01.2018 has also been specically challenged. Both the matters have been heard together and are being disposed of simultaneously.

Wood

availability was claimed in the report of the State of UP in view of exemption notication dated 31.12.2000. It was submitted that the exempted species principally are Poplar, Eucalyptus etc. and it was based on this assumption that the new wood based industries are proposed to be allowed. This Tribunal observed that notice dated 01.03.2019 for establishing new wood based industries, without ensuring legitimate sources of availability of wood, may result in clandestine supply of wood by illegal cutting of trees, in violation of judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and order of this Tribunal dated 11.09.2018, supra.

It is submitted that sufcient wood is available to make new wood industries viable based on the data available with the State. New wood industries will utilize Poplar and Eucalyptus trees excluding possibility of illegal cutting of trees.

PLEA BY THE STATE GOVT

In pursuance of order dated 18.12.2019, an afdavit dated 22.01.2020 has been led by the Divisional Director of Forest, Hathras, on behalf of the State of UP, giving data of the existing saw mills/wood based industries with their number, capacity and availability of wood species wise for the said saw mills for the period of three years as follows:

Justication for new saw mills/wood-based industries in terms of availability of demand and supply of timber species wise given by the State of UP is that such industries are required to cope up with the demand, without potential of cutting of trees from the Government Forests or private trees of categories which are not exempted. New wood based industries will lead to development of market, generate employment, encourage planting of seedlings, reduce migration of people, reduce dependence on traditional /cash crops, boost new technology, boost export, reduce import and utilization of resources. a. That it may be noted that the farmers in U.P. are not getting remunerative price and are forced to sell their produce at very cheap rate mainly to middlemen. Moreover, the largescale daily transportation of wood from U.P. to other States is causing lot of vehicular, noise and air pollution besides heavy expenditure on transportation. b. That 632 out of 1,215 WBIs Provisional License holders have established their units and ready for operation. Such units have been established after huge investments and by taking loans from the banks etc. Apart from the above 632, many other Provisional License holders are also in advance stage of establishment.

Therefore, the status quo granted by Hon'ble Tribunal in order dated 01.10.2019 will cause irreparable hardships to these Provisional License holders.”

COURTS OBSERVATION When FSI report says 77 lakh cubic meter of industrial wood is potentially available in the State of UP from Trees Outside Forests (TOF), it means that on the basis of the inventory of trees outside forests, 77 lakh cubic meter can be available annually, if the farmers harvest them.

Thus, the gure is not actual but presumptive. It does not exclude the timber which may not be harvested immediately or in the near future. The potential volume of wood provided is not, thus, actual production. This has been arrived at using Von Mantel formula which takes into account species wise growing stock and rotation age.

13

PLY INSIGHT - March 2020

In order to arrive at accurate assessment of timber that will be available for consumption by the industries, it is necessary to have District wise, species wise and diameter-class wise inventory. Such a study, if not already done, can be assigned to FSI who have undertaken similar studies for many States like Punjab and Maharashtra and others. It is only after such credible study and assessment that any further decision ought to be taken.

It has been mentioned in the Afdavit of the State that during 2019 there were 6,686 saw mills/wood based industries operating in the State of Uttar Pradesh and the capacity of these units is 41.5 lakh cubic meter per year. Therefore, the total Timber that will be actually available for new industries as per the data given in the Afdavit of the State is not going to be more than about 2 lakh cubic meter per year. It, therefore, appears that the Timber that has been allotted for new wood based industries by the State Level Committee (SLC) of wood based industries which is 18 lakh cubic meter appears to be absurdly unrealistic. In view of our above comments, such allotment will be against the tenets of principle of sustainable development, precautionary principle and public trust doctrine. Allowing more number of saw mills/WBIs, than the carrying capacity, will, in the given facts and circumstances undermine these principles.

We are, therefore, satised that there will be hardly any industrial wood actually available for new wood based industries, based on above data made available by the State. In these circumstances, if new industries are allowed to open, based on wrong estimation of availability of timber, a situation may arise when there may not be any timber to be allotted to the unit or the industry may resort to illegal means to procure round timber in order to keep its unit aoat. Such a situation may not be allowed to come up in view of 'Precautionary' principle of environmental law. State should therefore make an inventory species wise and district wise and also have species wise consumption data of all the wood based industries and their capacity to utilize them and not proceed with the present proposal till further exercise of making inventory and assessment of actual availability of timber / raw material is done.

It is also submitted that with the installation of new advanced machineries, consumption of existing units will go up by four times. Any further wood based industry/saw mills may adversely affect the existing forests.

Budget 2020: FM proposes hike in Customs duties, outlines road map for more Earlier this prohibition was limited to imports of gold and silver.

“Our policy of Make in India has started giving dividends. India is now making world-class goods and exporting such products. Customs duty is being reduced on certain inputs and raw materials while it is being revised upward on certain goods which are being made domestically,” said Sitharaman.

The government will trim Customs duty exemptions by September (2020-21), besides reviewing Customs law and procedures in line with ease of doing business.

Addressing multiple objectives for supporting domestic industry, curbing non-essential imports, and raising revenue, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Budget announced Customs duty hike on a range of items, including toys, furniture, electronic goods, and footwear. Besides, health cess was introduced on medical equipment to create the infrastructure for health services.

“Exemptions from Customs duty have been given in public interest from time to time. However, a number of these have outlived their utility or have become outdated. On review, certain such exemptions are being withdrawn.

Remaining custom duty exemptions shall be comprehensively reviewed by September, 2020 for taking a view on their relevance,” said Sitharaman.

It also proposed changes in Customs law to empower the government to prohibit imports of goods that harm the economy.

Protectionist customs duties and procedures safeguard duties are also being tightened, as are rules of origin under extant free trade agreements, all of which promise bigger bureaucratic hurdles for imports.

For 25 years since 1991, successive Indian governments reformed our trade policies in favour of greater openness and engagement with world trade. Customs duties were greatly reduced and quantitative restrictions largely eliminated. As a result, our foreign trade — both exports and imports — expanded robustly, providing a signicant boost to our economic growth and employment.

Since 2017, we have reversed policy and retreated from engaging with the world economy. Our ministers and senior ofcials do not seem to appreciate that higher duties and restrictions on imports hurt our capacity to grow exports. We ourselves grew fastest when our exports expanded robustly (1992-97 and 20032012).

T

he biggest weakness of this Budget is its continuing lurch towards protectionism. This is the fourth Budget in a row, beginning with Arun Jaitley's February 2018 Budget and including Piyush Goyal's Interim Budget of February 2019, that has raised customs duties across a wide array of products.

This year the products include a number of household goods and appliances, electrical consumer appliances, footwear, furniture, toys, certain machinery items, certain medical equipment, components of mobile phones, e-vehicles of various categories and nuts. Furthermore, the provisions for anti-dumping duties and

Vivad se Vishwas: Scheme disputes. The assessee, therefore, may well wonder if the price for not prolonging a dispute is to pay half the disputed amount even though he/she has won the case. The fear is that to achieve that goal it may put undesirable pressure on taxpayers with pending disputes to settle them under this scheme.

The Narendra Modi government's initiative to reduce litigation in direct tax cases has ignited a icker of hope among taxpayers with 483,000 cases pending in various courts and appellate forums.

If the taxpayer, under the scheme, has lost the case and gone in for an appeal, the assessee can pay 100 per cent of the disputed amount (without penalty and interest) and settle it. This may well result in many taxpayers bringing their disputes to an end and get the tax department off their back. Vivad Se Vishwas may make some headway.

But there is no guarantee that this will end the larger problem of tax disputes leading to accumulation of tax arrears.

The tax department, therefore, has to focus more on bringing in a system that does not create disputes and does not allow the disputes to remain unresolved for several years. Vivad Se Vishwas can earn the government a one-time tax revenue bonanza. But this gain (almost like the one-off disinvestment gains are for scal consolidation) will not be sustainable unless durable reforms in the taxation system are implemented to prevent disputes and ensure their early settlement.

But if a tax payer has won a case and the tax department has gone in for an appeal, then the assessee can pay 50 per cent of the disputed tax amount (without the penalty and interest) and settle the case.

Many problems can arise in such situations. Why should a tax payer, after having won the case in a lower forum, agree to pay half the disputed tax amount?

The tax department is known for ling an appeal against any case it loses in tax

Budget proposal on remittances abroad triggers fears of double taxation Further, this would also hit working capital for businesses till the time credit is not claimed. The LRS, which allows every individual to send up to $250,000 abroad annually, has been under central agencies' lens since 2018. The probe agencies have detected a signicant increase in the outow of Indian money, especially to Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai.

In the Union Budget 2020, the government proposed that banks that received 7 lakh and above from a person for remitting money overseas under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) or from the seller of a tour package would debit 5 per cent of the remitted amount as tax. This was proposed after an analytical study by the Income Tax Department. The study revealed people misused the legal route to launder money. Further, it was also detected that misuse was mostly by those who were sending over 7 lakh and that was how the threshold was decided, said an ofcial privy to the matter.

The government, however, said the taxpayer could claim refund in the income tax return and hence it was not double taxation, an ofcial added.

Industrialists are of the view that whatever money goes abroad under the RBI scheme is legitimate and comes under the purposes listed, such as education and investment. So taxing that money again is an additional burden on taxpayers.

According to estimates by probe agencies, these countries received 20,000-30,000 crore in 2018. Thailand itself recorded 5,000 crore sent by Indians in 2018.

The probe agencies last year conveyed their concern on this to the Ministry of Finance and the RBI in 2019. Sources said federal agencies had sought immediate scrutiny in the matter and also asked for tightening the LRS and other legitimate routes of such kind.

In order to circumvent regulatory attention, forex dealers create fake invoices under the LRS. There are possibilities that one person could have more than ve accounts using the route to send money, another ofcial said, explaining why the records with banks never reected such dubious transactions. Though the person taking this route is bound to give undertakings stating the purpose of remitting money, there are cases where the identity of the person is hidden, or, in some cases, the explanation given on the forex dealing is not clear. The RBI has laid down guidelines on remittances of funds. There are separate guidelines for residents and non-residents.

Keep the RCEP option open

I

ndia chose not to join the consensus reached at Bangkok in November last year when member countries decided that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) would move to the nal phase of text-based negotiations and conclude the agreement by the end of 2020. India was not prepared to accept a regional trading arrangement in which it had limited entitlement to deal with import surges.

There were issues relating to rules of origin. This is inherent in dealing with an already regionally integrated trading network based on supply chains.

Typically, a product from any of the trading partners is made up of components and intermediates from several countries. Country specic trade measures and tariffs have little meaning.

Not being part of these supply chains, India is at a disadvantage, since selectivity in tariff treatment of its numerous partners makes rules of origin a complex exercise. However, if India believes that the future of its trade lies in becoming part of regional and global supply chains then staying out of the RCEP contravenes that objective. A better strategy would have been to leverage the size of the Indian market to obtain entry into supply chains within the RCEP. This would have also triggered more urgent improvements in infrastructure, trade facilitation measures and quality, which count more in supply chains than tariffs. Supply chains can only work in a low-tariff regime allowing liberal import of components and intermediates.

The shift towards a protected economy is clear from the following observation of the nance minister, “It has been observed that imports under free trade agreements (FTAs) are on the rise. Undue claims of FTA benets have posed threat to domestic industry. Such imports require stringent checks. In this context, suitable provisions are being incorporated in the Customs Act. In the coming months we shall review Rules of Origin requirements, particularly for certain sensitive items, so as to ensure that FTAs are aligned to the conscious direction of our policy.”

Most global trade is now conducted through large regional trade

arrangements such as the North American Free Trade Area, the European Union, Mercosur (in Latin America). The RCEP would be their counterpart in Asia. The role of WTO has been declining progressively and with it the concept of unrestricted trade and investment ows and, importantly for developing countries, an acceptance of the principle of nonreciprocity based on levels of development.

We are now moving towards a global trade regime, which will be more explicitly based on the principle of reciprocity, and trade ows will be inuenced less by tariffs and more by standards, specications, intellectual property safeguards and environmental standards. This new global regime, overseen through a reformed and restructured WTO, will be a bargain negotiated by the major regional trading arrangements. Individual countries, except for major trading nations such as China and the US will have limited leverage. India's external trade volume is now back to less than 2 per cent of the global volume. If India is not part of one of these trading arrangements, it will end up being a rule taker rather than one of the rule makers. We must think this through carefully because it will impinge on our future economic prospects as well as geopolitical clout.

In 1991, when India adopted far reaching economic reforms and liberalisation policies, there were fears that Indian industry would be hollowed out. These were not only belied but India embarked on a sustained high growth trajectory.

Why abandon a remarkably successful economic strategy and return to a failed import substitution strategy? More importantly, should not there be greater coherence in our trade and investment policies? It is incongruous to talk about making India a global assembly hub and then adopting policies that make it unlikely.

Construction activity slowdown : attened local economy of nearly 30,000 unit launches in 2015, the number of launches has sunk to nil in the July-September 2019 quarter.

Been paid their salaries for three months.

Once a bustling construction site, work at RG Luxury Homes NOIDA practically stopped six months ago. The project is awaiting further instructions from the National Company Law Board after its 1,600 at buyers complained about having waited in vain for over nine years for their homes to be completed.

As per real estate analyst rm Anarock's estimates, Noida and Greater Noida have 142,500 stalled units that were launched by 2013. Their combined valuation: close to Rs 800 billion.

The region has the highest number of stalled units in the national capital region, second only to Mumbai which has 154,000 units valued at Rs 2 trillion. Moreover, the data shows that since 2015, Noida and Greater Noida, along with Ghaziabad, accounted for half - or 100,000 units - of all the units launched in the national capital region.

A project that began taking bookings in 2010 has yet to deliver a single at to its buyers. Priced between Rs 40-60 lakh, the high-rise apartments were marketed as luxurious homes for mid-income families.

It's difcult to spot a single nished apartment, let alone any traces of luxury.

Some ve years ago, 700-odd workers used to work here. The site was constantly replenished by convoys of trucks unloading raw material. Now it is deserted.

The prolonged economic slowdown has shattered the dreams of thousands of home buyers who booked unnished units. Over 30,000 customers of large building groups such as Amrapali and the Jaypee Group and of smaller developers like the RG Group, have lost their life savings.

Others have been devastated too: local businessmen, vendors, property dealers, transporters and suppliers.

Construction is one of the biggest employers for informal workers and, in the past two decades, has helped take the uneducated and unskilled out of poverty.

The index of industrial production (IIP) for construction goods —machinery used for erecting structures — contracted by 6.4 per cent in September, following a 5.4 per cent contraction in August, the steepest fall in about a decade. This reects a drastic fall in construction activity across the country.

While the extent of job losses in the region is difcult to estimate, a rough estimate puts the number of lost man-days of work at over one million since 2015.

RG luxury Homes is just one of the hundreds of stalled projects in the region that have plunged the local economy into crisis. Around a kilometre away lies another ghost town — Amrapali Dream Valley — an unnished township. With its promoters thrown into jail by the court, the township has turned into a pasture for grazing cattle, against a backdrop of concrete carcasses. A blue notice states that the project is under the Supreme Court's jurisdiction.

The roots of the downturn date back to early 2010 but it's the lack of measures to address the slide that has aggravated the misery. Sector experts speak gloomily of a 'lost decade'.

“The farmers' compensation issue in early days and the resultant halt in activities damaged things. Further, dozens of regulatory clearances required to be obtained by developers, despite their purchasing land from the government for the purpose, only added to the cost burden.

This made the offer prices unviable”.

Such stalled projects, mostly launched during the so-called boom period between 2010 and 2014, dot the landscape of Noida Extension and Greater Noida. From a peak

FROM LUXURY TO NECESSITY HOW HAS FURNITURE USED IN INDIA EVOLVED THROUGH TIME The furniture industry we see today has been shaped with inuences from several foreign cultures. Here's a brief account of the making of India's modern furniture industry.

There was a time in the nation's history when the use of furniture was so sparse that it had astonished our European visitors. The furniture industry we see today has been shaped with inuences from several foreign cultures.

It all started when the Portuguese felt nostalgic Beginning with trade, the Portuguese eventually started invading several territories in India and established residential complexes as well as business settlements there in the 15th century. But the lack of conventional furnishings they used back home dismayed them. So, they shipped some furniture from their kingdom to be used as samples and commissioned Indian craftsmen the work of producing their replicas. The seasoned craftsmen who were masters of their art instead of producing exact replicas produced something which was a mix of European and Indian styles. This gave birth to the Indo- Portuguese style of furniture making. In the northern territories of the country, this style was dubbed as the 'Mughal style' and included tables and writing desks made of ebony or other dark woods with inlaid bone or ebony decorations. While in the southern part of the country, this style was hailed as the 'Goanese style' which was characterized by large cabinets with inuences from traditional Portuguese forms. Goanese style furniture was decorated with inlay ornaments that were either geometric or semiabstract.

Once only limited to the afuent, today, furniture is something that is inevitable in every Indian household. From basics such as bed, sofa, dining table, etc. to high-end furnishing items such as dressers, armoires, loungers, etc., we use every kind of furniture that people in western countries do. The Indian furniture market is pegged to cross the valuation mark of $32 billion by 2019 and attain a market value of around $61 billion by 2023. While the residential sector contributed around 63% to the market value of the country's furniture industry in 2018, the share of the most dominant market player in the sector, wooden furniture, is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 11% during the period of 2018-23. India's furniture market has experienced signicant growth in the past two decades and with a 17% share, India was the largest importer of furniture in the world during 2004-05.

Though the above-mentioned gures depict the widespread use of furniture in today's times, there was a time in the nation's history when the use of furniture was so sparse that it had astonished our European visitors. The use of a variety of furniture was something that was commonplace in the day to day lives of our counterparts in the western world. When the Portuguese rst made contact with India for trade purposes, some of the primary furnishings they saw here was low chairs, charpoys, cushions, mattresses, etc. which were used for seating, eating and sleeping. Furniture with high aesthetic value such as thrones was only found in palaces and limited to royalty.

Though craftsmen were treated with high pride, furniture making wasn't mainstream back then.

The Dutch touch When the Duch formed trade bases in India in the early 16th century, they also brought along their furniture making style which gave rise to the Indo-Dutch style of furniture making. This style of furniture can also be categorized into two broad groups. The rst group comprised furniture manufactured from light coloured hardwoods with inlaid bone and incised decorations.

46

PLY INSIGHT - March 2020

The second group consisted of carved furniture made of dark-coloured woods such as ebony with intricate oral decorations. Though widely believed to be of Indian origin, the latter group of IndoDutch style furniture was largely manufactured in Java, which was also a part of the Dutch administration in the east. During the British Raj The Britishers too had a signicant impact on how furniture was made in India. Post 18th century most of the furniture manufactured in the country was highly inspired by the English style. These English style furniture was not only used

by Britishers but was also highly preferred

by Indian royals. They had high aesthetic value with intricate carvings and typical forms of these furniture included chairs with high and straight backs and at seats. English style furniture in those times also included whole sets made of ivory in line with the Chippendale and Sheraton styles.

Wood has since a long time been the preferred material for making furniture in India. The Indo-European style furniture too was manufactured using a variety of locally available woods. They not only

augmented the ornamentation process (which has always been an integral part of Indian furniture making) but also were highly sturdy and resilient. Some types of wood commonly used in Indian furniture making include teak, rosewood, acacia, ebony, sheesham, etc.

Post the British rule, furniture used in India have evolved in many ways. Usability took over appearance and low-cost furniture gained popularity. The furniture used today, at times, takes inspiration from the western world and other cultures but at the same time is high on Indian values as well. Furniture eventually also became lighter and were customised to be applicable in regular households. Today, in the era of digital transformation, just like most of the other industries, the Indian furniture industry is also going online. With players solely dedicated to selling furniture online gaining popularity in the market, conventional big names in the industry have also come up with digital avatars in addition to their brick and mortar stores.

SMART WAYS TO GIVE A COMPLETE MAKEOVER TO YOUR KITCHEN Add a dining space – In the space efcient homes of today, the kitchen is no longer an exclusive space to cook in. It is a space where you can grab a meal, kick back, and read a book or even work on your laptop.

The best way to do add the perfect dining space is to pick up one of the Archidlam Postforming Laminate which is made of a special resin (using resin technology) that makes for the perfect interiors. These laminates are durable, eye-catching, and can be bent at 160 degrees allowing for seamless corners.

Much like your living room and your bedroom, your kitchen needs to be infused with your personality and creativity.

Adding the personal touch and some much-needed alterations can create the perfect family space where you can serve up delicious meals and make memories that last a lifetime. Here are some smart ways to give your kitchen a complete makeover:

Germ free kitchen – Archidlam's AntiBacterial kitchen laminates are perfect for the kitchen. The biocidal and biostatic additives make for highly hygienic surfaces but this does not take away from the beauty and the aesthetics of the nish.

Add a feature wall – Gone are the days when kitchens used to be cold and functional. With smaller, more compact and efcient homes becoming the choice of most homeowners, it is important that kitchens reect the joy, warmth, and brightness of a family that cooks and eats together. The use of chalkboard or marker board laminates to fashion out a small creative corner for the children and family members to write inspirational quotes, appreciative words, and endearments and even to draw on makes for the perfect kitchen makeover.

Cabinets, cabinets, cabinets – The kitchen is typically all about the cabinets and storage spaces. The easiest way to give your kitchen an instant upgrade is to change the nishing to an anti-ngerprint laminate so as to avoid nger print marks on the cabinets which may be caused due to constant friction. This not only minimizes the need to clean the cabinets but also immediately enhances the aesthetics of the kitchen.

Add some colour – Monochrome is now passé. If you think that your kitchen with its laminated counters and cupboards leaves no room for colour, think again.

Laminates now come with bright and attractive colours like glossy red, tangy orange or even glistening silver. These unique colours can bring life to any given space. Adding some wall art or decals or even commissioning a glass painting on the window panes can add a dash of much needed colour to your kitchen and elevate the interiors.

The perfect lighting – The one feature that will change the way your kitchen interiors look is the lighting. If you are fortunate to have a home where the kitchen is endowed with a great deal of natural lighting and ventilation, make best use of these. For the evenings, however, you will require strategically placed lamps and overhead lighting to show off the interiors in the best possible way.

New record for U.S. hardwood exports to India Total value of American hardwood lumber and veneer exported totaled USD 6.448 million in 2019 A closer look at the numbers for 2019 reveal that total hardwood lumber shipped from the United States to India increased by 72 percent in value to USD 2.356 million (up from USD 1.369 million in 2018) and by 140 percent in volume to 4,082 cubic meters (up from 1,698 cubic meters in 2018). At the same time, direct exports of American hardwood veneers to the market increased by 4 percent to reach USD 4.092 million. According to AHEC, limited domestic hardwood supplies, coupled with strong sustained growth in the retail furniture, handicraft and hospitality sectors is driving demand for new species, making India an attractive long-term prospective market for U.S. hardwoods.

Last year was a record year for U.S. hardwood exports to India with the value of hardwood lumber and veneer exports totaling USD 6.448 million, according to the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), the leading international trade association for the American hardwood industry. The statistics, which have been compiled from the latest data released by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), were announced yesterday (February 27, 2020) at the opening of INDIAWOOD, which is due to run until March 2 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Center.

The top six American hardwood species exported last year were hickory (USD 727,000 and 1,229m3), red oak (USD 466,000 and 920m3), walnut (USD 329,000 and 282m3), white oak (USD 262,000 and 358m3), ash (USD 242,000 and 356m3) and maple (USD 140,000 and 240m3). Signicant increases were seen in the value and volume of exports of all species - hickory (50 percent and 128 percent), red oak (910 percent and 1,111 percent), walnut (45 percent and 45 percent), white oak (47 percent and 26 percent), ash (813 percent and 1,234 percent) and maple (113 percent and 128 percent).

With India making positive progress towards fullling its potential as a major market for U.S. hardwoods, AHEC is participating at INDIAWOOD with an American hardwood pavilion, which includes several U.S.-based hardwood and veneer exporters. AHEC also hosted a seminar last night at the Sheraton Grand Bangalore in partnership with NürnbergMesse India, the organizers of INDIAWOOD. The seminar focused on all aspects of the American hardwood resource, sustainable forest management, production, kiln-drying and the wide range of species available, in addition to new technologies that allow American hardwoods to now be used in exterior and structural applications.

PLY INSIGHT - March 2020

“AHEC has been actively promoting American hardwoods in India since 2003 targeting speciers (architects and interior designers), end users (furniture and joinery manufacturers) as well as importers and distributors. Our participation at INDIAWOOD is the rst in a line of many activities planned for 2020 aimed at building on the current knowledge of American hardwoods in India. Looking ahead, the plan is to host lumber grading workshops and design and manufacturing seminars in a number of metropolitan areas around India, while also maintaining a constant on-theground presence and technical assistance through our representative based in Bangalore. The American hardwood industry is committed to servicing growing Indian demand for hardwoods,” concluded Roderick Wiles, AHEC Regional Director.

A sector with tremendous potential is the Indian wooden handicrafts and furniture manufacturing industry. Increasing certication requirements, and both the restricted and deteriorating quality of supply of domestic species is driving Indian manufacturers to look at viable alternative hardwood species not only for the domestic furniture and interiors market, but also for re-exports of valueadded products. Given that Indian exporters of wooden handicrafts and other wood products are facing stricter norms in the European Union, the United States and Australia, the U.S. hardwood industry is well placed to service this demand as American hardwoods are both legal and sustainable, and do not need to be certied in order to enter in to these markets.

Salone del Mobile Furniture Fair in Milan postponed due to Coronavirus Outbreak continued, before calling on the Italian government to help mitigate the economic damage caused by the postponement and asking hotels not to put off visitors by increasing their prices during the new dates in June.

The Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan has been postponed until 16-21 June in response to Italy's coronavirus outbreak.

Salone del Mobile, which is the world's largest and most important furniture fair, was due to take place between 21 and 26 April. However, the surge in cases of the new Covid-19 strain of coronavirus in northern Italy has forced the fair to change its plans. Organisers announced the decision in a statement tonight following an emergency meeting this afternoon.

"Following an extraordinary meeting today of the Board of Federlegno Arredo Eventi, and in view of the ongoing public health emergency, the decision has been taken to postpone the upcoming edition of the Salone del Mobile," the statement said.

"I call on the government to intervene and provide some help for a fundamental sector for our economy," he said. "I am also making a special appeal to our hoteliers.

This year we need to be especially careful about how we pitch the price of hotel rooms, because this year will be no ordinary one.”

Italy has the highest number of coronavirus cases in Europe Italy now has the highest number of conrmed cases of coronavirus in Europe and the third-highest in the world after South Korea and China, where the outbreak originated. In total, more than 280 cases have been reported in the country, with over 200 in Lombardy. At present, there have been seven deaths from coronavirus reported in Italy.

"Conrmation of the change of date for the trade fair – strongly supported by the Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala – means that the manufacturers, in a major show of responsibility, will be able to present their nalised work to an international public that sees the annual appointment with the Salone del Mobile as a benchmark for creativity and design.”

In response, the government has declared a state of emergency and quarantined around 50,000 people in towns and villages surrounding Milan.

The number of people infected by the virus in Italy has risen sharply in the past few days, with the majority of cases reported in the region of Lombardy, of which Milan is the capital.

The spread of the virus has impacted other events in the city, with MIDO, the world's biggest eyewear fair, also being postponed.

"Milan has to carry on" Salone del Mobile also announced the decision on Twitter, alongside a video message from Milan's mayor Giuseppe Sala. "I am calling on our colleagues in the furnishing sector and the Salone del Mobile to pull together to make sure Milan doesn't grind to a halt," Sala said in the video. "We need to work objectively to stop this virus spreading, but we must also take care not to spread the virus of distrust". "Milan has to carry on," he 70

Reduced Chinese tariffs on US wood products entered into force The tariff rates on most of the logs and sawnwood imported from the US have been reduced to 5% from 10%.

The tariffs on poplar sawnwood and other North America sawn hardwoods have been cut to 2.5% from 5%.

The China Customs Tariff Commission issued a notice on 6 February 2020 stating that China will halve the additional tariffs on US$75 billion worth of some US products as of 14 February 2020 in a bid to promote the stable development of ChinaUS economic and trade relations.

This decision will halve the 10% and 5% rates on a list of US products that were subject to additional tariffs from 1 September 2019.

The tariffs for 270 items listed in the rst section and 646 items in the second section of Annex 1 to the Notice was adjusted to 5% from 10% and for the 64 items listed in the third section along with 737 items in the fourth section had tariffs adjusted to 2.5% from 5%.

Apart from the above-mentioned adjustment, the other measures to additional tariffs on U.S. products will continue to be implemented.

The tariff rates on most imported woodbased panels, wood crafts and furniture have been halved to 2.5% from 5%. In addition, tariffs on most of the imported woodworking machinery, woodworking tools, agroforestry tools and forestry machinery from the United States will be halved to 2.5% from 5%.

Analysts write “this move is good for timber traders, wood processors and furniture manufacturers who have been suffering from trade conict and also disrupted production and trade due to the coronavirus control measures.

Further adjustment will mainly depend on future development in the economic and trade relations between the two countries.

The commission said other additional tariff measures will continue to be implemented as stipulated and they will continue to work on tariff exemptions for imports from the US.
