"With China now representing a quarter of the world pulp market this is a necessary addition and builds on the coverage of pulp imports to China by region and month, introduced in World Pulp Monthly last year," notes Kurt Schaefer, RISI Vice President of Fiber.  

Each issue of World Pulp Monthly provides benchmark prices, a current market snapshot and a one to two-year forecast for wood pulp prices delivered to Northern Europe, the United States and from 2010, China. The report covers monthly prices for the previous year as well as forecast monthly prices for the following year delivered to China, for Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft pulp (NBSK), Bleached Radiata Pine Kraft (from Chile) and Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft.

China prices will also be added to the in-depth five and fifteen year world pulp forecasts later this year.

A global team of Economists based in Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe cover RISI's forecasts and analysis.
