  6. Why is imported chemi- mechanical pulp considered low risk?

  7. Why is imported bleached kraft pulp considered higher-risk?

  11. 2007 trends continue….

  12. 2007 pulp sourcing

  13. Wood chips small but important to some countries...

  14. Recommendations • Be aware of where pulp, pulpwood and woodchips are coming from & develop tracking systems to verify origin • Address the “weakest links” in China’s fiber supply system: the uncertified pulp and pulpwood coming from Russia and Indonesia • ensure certified harvested from sustainably managed forest operations & can be tracked through to the mill

  15. 2007 import rise

  16. Taking out p & p, logs dominate

  17. Russian logs dominate….

  18. Small increase in other Russian wood products… Russian Exports to China, w/o logs

  19. Rise of PNG, Solomons, NZ, Gabon

  20. Indonesian imports down

  21. African imports up (but only 4-5% of total imports)
