The quantity of exported pulp and pulp production in Canada is represented a decreasing tendency. On the other hand, China, who is the largest consumer of wood pulp in the world, still import more and more wood pulp to meet the domestic demand. Strong competitors such as Brazil, Russia and Indonesia have their advantages in wood pulp trade with China. Canada can only increase the wood pulp import by enhance the public awareness, stabilize the monetary exchange rates, and focus on build a better relationship with Chinese industries.
