[JS]Raw Material Prices

Day 962, 20:32 • Published in Malaysia USA • by Dr. Straatman

As a company owner I've noticed recently that Malaysia has some very expensive Raw Materials(RM) and I wanted to address how this could affect the rest of the economy.

RM Prices
Stone-0.09 MYR
Titanium-0.15 MYR
Oil-0.19 MYR
Grain-0.25 MYR
Iron-0.47 MYR

Each manufactured product requires RM to be built. The current cost in RM per product is 1 RM per CP. I'm going to break down how much it costs just in RM to make one of each kind of product in Malaysia.

Some of these costs are ridiculous and this is only the cost of making the product in RM, this doesn't include wages and a percentage as profit. If Malaysian businesses were forced to buy RM in Malaysia our economy would have already collapsed. Stone is at a good level and Titanium isn't far off. Oil could definitely be brought down and Grain and Iron need to be brought down as soon as possible.

Malaysia has always had expensive RM, but this is beyond ridiculous. Company's have been forced to go overseas in order to buy RM other than in the construction sector. Otherwise they are just losing large amounts of MYR/Gold. I am currently buying Oil from Indonesian companies myself, which I absolutely do not want to have to do. The prices in Malaysia though have made it to hard to make a profit.

My warning to RM companies, lower your prices or else you will lose your customers to bankruptcy/cheaper prices elsewhere. You will have to lower them eventually in order to sell your stock, lower it now so that Malaysian companies can keep their business local and support the Malaysian economy.
