Among them, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Fujian provinces are focused on Eucalyptus cultivation, totaling more than 3,000 acres, accounting for eucalyptus cultivation area and growing stock more than 80%. Only a Sinar Mas Group, currently in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and Yunnan, planted 450 million mu of fast growing forest, and Guangxi and Guangdong, respectively 180 mu and 60 mu.

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. According to “break the North West government, expansion south of” strategic planning of forest industry development, China’s future plans to develop 225 million mu of fast growing forest, but still can not meet growing market demand.
