Read newspapers every day, see the Federation of finance, network appliances, and so hot, however, no one realized that holding the paper itself, and is also a hot spot in the daily lives of ordinary people.
Imports of paper with us in the "war"
According to the survey, Guangdong Province in 1999 required all kinds of paper and paperboard about 6,500,000 tons (total paper consumption of 34,000,000 tons of 19.4%), the province's production of 3,200,000 tons, while imports have amounted to 4,287,000 tons (total The paper imports 66%), paper imports in addition to a small number of resellers in the Mainland, the for most of the province. Customs statistics, imports of the country's main varieties of paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province, have accounted for a large proportion. Kraft Sack Paper to, Kraft paperboard, Coated Paperboard, White Board, the five Corrugating Medium, Guangdong last year, the country's total imports of paper with the kind of imports of 69.48 percent. These varieties are the use of wood (wood) and the United States to do paper raw materials, high-quality varieties, in the short term, we also can not produce all its own. Do not forget in 1997 by the National launched several major paper mill that the news paper anti-dumping, is the last to raise tariffs on imports of newsprint and to wind up. When China's accession to the WTO, a further reduction in tariffs is an inevitable trend, then to China's paper industry so competitive, how can we resist the "foreign paper" on a large scale invasion this?
Guangdong paper industry take a second look, according to the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics, 1999, the province's 329 pulp and paper companies, annual production of 1,940,400 tons, ranked fifth in the country. However, the provincial association of paper that this new set of figures is based on the calculation of statistics (that is, sales of 5,000,000 yuan of non-state-owned enterprises, the following statistics do not), such as by large-caliber, paper and paperboard production in the province will be more than 320 tons, ranking Second only in the "boss" in Shandong.
At present, the province's paper-making capacity at 100,000 tons more than corporate 7, 30,000 tons more than it was 24. Products affordable to the main mechanism for paper and paperboard products amounted to 140 species, some of which are in the forefront in the nation.
Advantage? Guangdong is some
China Paper Association Feng widely believed that the development of Guangdong Province, the paper of the main advantages are:
First, a large market of Guangdong paper, consumption ranks first in the provinces in terms of packaging paper and board development can do a lot of articles. National requirements are mainly high-strength corrugated cardboard base paper, cardboard boxes leather, white board, coated white, Guangdong is no exception. Experts predict that as the country's Guangdong Province imported and exported commodities base for the next four to this paper (cardboard), demand will rise substantially. At present, packaging products, high-end goods, exports of packaging paper shortage in the variety, quality, quantity can not satisfy market demand.
Second, Guangdong good timber resources. Green standards in 1992, Guangdong Province, the implementation of ecological forest and the classification of commercial forest management and operation of 1,500,000 tons to meet the need for paper-making raw materials. As well as bagasse, bamboo, raw materials, such as Mans pole can be used.
Third, the paper industry in Guangdong has a long history, good investment environment. Guangdong foreign investment, in favor of state-owned enterprise reform and development of the paper industry. At the same time, Guangdong has a long history of paper-making, engineers and technicians as much as the first in the nation, has been set production, scientific research, design, installation, education as one of the system, but also the country's largest paper-making base for scientific research (South China University of Technology).
Guangdong paper industry need to help a
Guangdong Paper Association Secretary-General Liu Baoqi suggested that the paper industry in our province is currently the biggest problem is that most enterprises are too small. He said that the province's paper mill in Dongguan area gathered quite a bit, but there's a small-scale enterprises, scattered distribution. The size of a small, it is necessary to control pollution has become a big problem. In addition, the province's paper mills at home to most of the waste paper as raw materials, high-grade wood pulp paper does not show much of it is in our province as the quality of paper products were the key factors. Therefore, we have large-scale enterprise groups, small and medium-sized enterprises characteristics, the type of business diversification of the economy on the road.
Guangdong Institute of paper of the Secretary-General, South China University of Technology Professor Zhan Huaiyu stressed: the size of government action but also on support from the attention of policy paper. He said the country's paper industry "boss" - Shandong Province, the Government has the courage to paper industry as a pillar industry, said publicity stresses "the first production, sales in the first, equipment modernization." In this regard, our province as the country's "second" do far worse than those of Shandong. In fact, the province's paper-making power is not bad, for example, Guangzhou newsprint paper mill is the country's oldest. This year, the study found that Finland, the Finnish province of Guangzhou Paper Mill's particularly good impression, saying "the best Chinese paper mills." Such being the case, why can not we have it flourish? Dongguan with a few large, but there is nothing between them, if it can be by the composition of the group, play their respective advantages, the effect may even be better.
Accession to the WTO, to meet the challenges
China's accession to the WTO would mean lower import tariffs on paper, paper products, the province's quality, price and how people compete with them? In this regard, the Secretary-General Liu Baoqi Guangdong Paper Association recommends that a number of measures should be taken to meet the challenge.
First, adjust the structure of the paper-making raw materials, production and development of forests, establishment of a dedicated LAM paper-making raw materials base and take the road of development of forestry-paper integration.
Second, to expand the scale of enterprises, to accelerate the introduction of large-scale foreign advanced technology and equipment, improving the level of technology and equipment to increase capacity to deal with waste, reduce environmental pollution.
Third, the combination of paper and packaging industry, the printing industry and to improve the lives of the people, to adjust product mix, focusing on developing high-end products, which focus on the development of cultural paper LWC paper, newsprint, coated paper, electrostatic photocopying Paper, computer printing paper; priority to the development of packaging paper Coated Paperboard, cardboard leather, white cardboard, cardboard boxes in high-end, high-strength corrugated base paper, cardboard and associated base paper honeycomb; priority to the development of mid-life paper toilet paper.
Guangdong Province, deputy director of the Institute of Paper Pingguo Ji believe that the province's paper industry is not the current economic situation and our historical policy issues. He said the 1960s and 1970s "prepare against natural disasters and war preparations", the paper set up small-scale enterprises, but did not mention the issue of environmental protection. We are a small number of paper-making enterprise is not an environmentally sound, small size is not conducive to environmental protection, and may even cause a loss. For example, before the waste Jiangmen paper mills have had to deal with equipment, but a start on a loss, they will simply not opened. We want to improve the quality of the product, with foreign competition, we can not achieve overnight.
I hope that tomorrow will be better
In recent years, with packaging and printing industry, as well as to improve the living standards of people, society's demand for paper on the rise. Now, whether international or domestic, newsprint prices are rising. France, "Le Figaro" newspaper, predicted that newsprint prices next year may rise sharply. However, some experts said that due to price increases and other factors, many of the region to expand production of strong, two years may be nothing, but two years later when the production of these projects are completed and put into production, production will rise rapidly, from time to time for possible Is greater than the demand, should not now be able to receive premium prices to see the paper on the blind expansion of production.
Ping Guoji also think the market is not optimistic, now sell newsprint, but a variety of other paper products are not high prices, coupled with the impact of foreign products, the prospects for the paper industry is worrisome. As in recent years, he said, the province's paper-making enterprises has been the scale of development, in 1999 a total of 34 national annual output of paper-making enterprises more than 100,000 tons, the province accounted for 6, and the total amount of super-profits Without the 11 million enterprises in our province also accounts for 3. And our province near Hong Kong and Macao, the packaging industry is relatively developed, packaging paper, paper is the development of living well, which is characteristic of Guangdong. In addition, the paper industry in the province of raw materials have been some changes in policy, before a variety of pine plantation, is now in order to create a Eucalyptus, Acacia, Nanyang Ying, Li species such as the capsule-based industrial raw material forest, attracting Asia Paper, Thailand and Shun-cheng, Thailand Golden Beach, and other foreign investment. All of this shows that our province to achieve integration of forestry and paper industry has a solid foundation.
