Press Release – For Immediate Release
The Brazilian pulp industry increase production and pulpwood costs are
going up in 2009, reports Wood Resource Quarterly
Brazil increased pulp production in 2008 by about eight percent.
Wood fiber costs have
remained unchanged in the local currency in the 2Q/09 but were eight percent higher in
US dollar terms as compared to the previous quarter, according to the Wood Resource
Quarterly.
Seattle,USA.
August, 2009.
There are signs that the Brazilian pulp industry is starting to
recover from the weak global demand for pulp and paper products.
In April, pulp exports
equalled 766,000 tons, up 43 percent from the previous month and 140 percent higher
than shipments a year earlier.
The Brazilian pulp companies have benefited from closures of pulpmills resulting in
reduced production capacity in the Northern Hemisphere and an increase in demand for
pulp in China.
In the 1Q/09, shipments to China were 68 percent higher than the same
quarter in 2008.
