Although the eucalyptus industry so fast, but in recent years are still huge gaps in the domestic timber demand, from 2000 to 2008, China’s paper consumption to 121% annual average rate of growth of per capita consumer of 60 kg, higher than the world The average level of 53 kg, most of the wood raw material needs from abroad.
