Abstract

Recently the circumstances surrounding pulp suppliers have been dramatically changing in terms of energy cost, exchange rate, wood chip and so on. Looking at the supply side, we would see rapid expansion of hardwood pulp mainly in South America. World hardwood supply will turn out to be more than softwood supply. As for the demand side, China is considered to remain the big market for market pulp. Considering about production cost for pulp suppliers, they have been suffering from sharp rise of raw materials and fuel, currency appreciation against US dollar, which reduce their profits obviously. It is reported that lots of Canadian pulp suppliers had to shut down their mills this year.<BR>The demand of recovered paper from Chinese paper mills has been increasing dramatically, and it has given big influence on Japanese market as China is major export market for Japan. China has further expansion plans for paper and paperboard and will consume more recovered paper. In order to secure the materials, China need to collect more recovered paper from the domestic market.
