According to the converter, the latest offers for PP Homo Raffia increased by MYR180/ton ($41/ton) on the monthly comparison. The converter has not decided to purchase yet since the company is still on an as-needed basis procurement. Besides, the current prices are deemed too high and the converter is in doubt that the uptrend will sustain until July. Speaking of the demand, sales for their finished products are still going good as of recent.
