Current situation and development trend of eucalyptus pulp in China

China only put forward the oriented cultivation of eucalyptus pulp from the "eighth Five-Year Plan", which has a certain gap with the world's advanced level. During the "ninth Five-Year Plan" period, the research on improving wood quality and perfecting breeding supporting technology was carried out, and the genetic improvement of wood property and resistance was included in the research content. But research in this area is just beginning. How to combine the cultivation of eucalyptus plantation with the production cost of pulp, take the economic benefit of the final product as the breeding goal, study the economic weight of each growth character and wood character, integrate the economic information into the breeding strategy, and cultivate the eucalyptus varieties with low price and high quality pulp products is the future development direction of eucalyptus pulp. 3.4.3 The transformation to scale and intensification, and the development scale to forest paper and bulk directly affect the production cost, production efficiency and economic benefits of enterprises. Although the existing area of eucalyptus in China reaches 1.6 million hm2, its distribution is very scattered. The Leizhou Forestry Bureau, the largest specialized eucalyptus forest farm, has only 42,000 hm2 of eucalyptus plantation area. The other 90% of eucalyptus forest is distributed in small forest farms and farmers' hands, and the degree of improved varieties of eucalyptus species is low.
