China Top Producer of Gum Rosin in the Globe
China has abundant pine resources, which guarantees sufficient oleoresin supply and then gum rosin production. However, in the past few years, infestation, eucalyptus planting and bad weather such as drought, heavy rain, snow, etc. have had negative influence on oleoresin tapping in major pine growing areas, such as Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Jiangxi and Hubei. China’s gum rosin production declined in 2008 and 2009, and the price of oleoresin and gum rosin increased crazily in 2010 because of the short supply of oleoresin.
