The crisis of paper supply chain in Europe and America led to the rise of pulp price

At that time, the European paper giant UPM group was blasted and the negotiations with the paper workers' Association were not smooth, which could lead to a strike. The latest foreign media report said that if the differences continue, this round of strike will continue until mid March this year. It is reported that the strike affected the production of UPM pulp, and the company was forced to adjust its supply chain, but did not disclose the specific losses.

Canada, another major producer of paper, is facing the problem of insufficient transportation capacity. In November 2021, the extreme weather caused the railway to shut down for a time, which forced the pulp mill of Canadian paper excellence to reduce production. This situation also continues to this day. On February 11, paper excellence announced a reduction in production due to insufficient transportation capacity and called on the railway to provide guarantee.

The above-mentioned paper enterprises told the financial associated press that the overseas supply chain problem has significantly boosted the export of white card paper. "Originally, the main producing areas of white card were China and Europe, mainly Western Europe and Northern Europe. However, due to various factors, the overall production capacity of these regions has decreased, which can only meet the needs of the region. The original supply areas need to turn to China for procurement, such as the Middle East, East Asia and South Asia, Even orders from southern Europe have flowed in, and China has undertaken most of the current international orders for white cardboard.
