other pulps are mainly produced in Asia. In 2002, the output of other pulps in Asia was 15.8 million tons, accounting for 88%. The output of non wood pulp in China was 13.97 million tons in 2003, accounting for more than 80% of the total output, and that in India was 1.3 million tons, accounting for more than 10%. In 2003, there were seven countries with pulp output of more than 10million tons in the world, including the United States of 52.3 million tons, Canada of 26.2 million tons, China of 17.2 million tons, Finland of 11.9 million tons, Sweden of 11.7 million tons and Japan of 10.6 million tons. Among the major pulp producing countries, Brazil has the most prominent growth rate. In 2003, Brazil's pulp output was 9.2 million tons, a sharp increase of 13% over the previous year

pulp consumption increased from 178 million tons in 2001 and 182 million tons in 2002 to 184 million tons in 2003, an increase of 1.2% over the previous year. The consumption of pulp in North America is also the largest, but it has decreased in recent years. In 2001, the consumption of pulp in North America was 69.58 million tons, which decreased to 68.8 million tons in 2002 and 2003 respectively, and the impact of measurement uncertainty without considering the reference standard was 68.3 million tons, accounting for 37% of the world's total consumption.

Asia increased from 47.1 million tons in 2001 to 4.8 million tons in 2002, resulting in accidents and material consumption of 8.85 million tons and 41.3 million tons in 2003, accounting for 27.8% of the world's total consumption. Pulp consumption in central and South America, Oceania and Africa was 8.3 million tons, 2.38 million tons and 1.5 million tons respectively in 2003. There were only four countries with pulp consumption of more than 10million tons in the world in 2003, namely, the United States 52.5 million tons, China 23.1 million tons, Canada 15.8 million tons and Japan 13 million tons

the import and export volume of pulp 2. The PLA is also being omnipotent. Both 2003 and 2003 have increased over the previous year. In 2003, the import volume of pulp from all countries in the world was 39.3 million, an increase of 2.9% over the previous year. Among them, Europe is 17.25 million tons, Asia is 14.6 million tons, and North America is 5.4 million tons. China has become the second largest producer and consumer of paper and paperboard in the world, and pulp needs to be imported in large quantities every year. The import volume was 5.2 million tons in 2002 and increased to 5.94 million tons in 2003, an increase of 14.9%. China has surpassed the United States and become the world's largest pulp importer. The import volume of pulp from the United States was 5.2 million tons in 2003, a decrease of 1.7% over the previous year. The world pulp export volume was 40million tons in 2003, an increase of 4.8% over the previous year. Among them, there are 15.65 million tons in North America, 12.88 million tons in Europe, 6.9 million tons in central and South America, and only 2.86 million tons in Asia. The country with the largest export volume is Canada, with 10.65 million tons. Followed by 5million tons in the United States, 3.5 million tons in Sweden and 2.3 million tons in Finland, and only 25000 tons in China

in 2002, there were 4961 global pulp production enterprises with a production capacity of 215.6 million tons. Among them, 232 in North America have a capacity of 91.26 million tons, 283 in Europe have a capacity of 52.9 million tons, 4386 in Asia have a capacity of 50.1 million tons, 380 in central and South America have a capacity of 12.73 million tons, 25 in Africa have a capacity of 3.5 million tons, and 19 in Oceania have a capacity of 3 million tons. The scale of pulp production plants in North America and Europe (especially northern Europe) is ahead of other regions. For example, there are 182 pulp factories in the United States, with a total production capacity of 63 million tons. The average production capacity of each factory is 350000 tons. The average production capacity of Canadian factories is as high as 565000 tons. Finland and Sweden are around 300000 tons, while the world average is only 43000 tons. The total production capacity of 14 pulp mills in Indonesia in Asia is 6.3 million tons, with an average of 440000 tons, which is also among the best

there are 4000 pulp production enterprises in China, with a production capacity of 20million tons. The average production capacity of one enterprise is only 5000 tons, which is only 1/8 of the world average
