Global Pulp Markets Still Strong

This year has been a very good year for the world's producers of market pulp, WRQ continues. World production for the first eight months was 8% higher than last year. During the third quarter, global production was close to the record high, and probably peaked in June or July. The market pulp producers in Western Europe have so far increased production by 18% compared with last year. Latin America is still lagging because of the large production outages early in the year when the earthquake hit the country.
