Suzano, a large Brazilian pulp producer, pointed out that the global inventory of pulp is falling sharply, which may lead to a shortage of supply and push up the prices of necessities such as paper towels, toilet paper and diapers.

Suzano, the world’s largest pulp producer, noted that pulp inventories have been declining. As Russia is an important source of timber supply in Europe, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has almost interrupted the timber trade between Russia and Europe. In addition, sanctions have led to the loss of global certification of Russian timber, which has limited the capacity of European pulp producers. In addition, due to the lack of some raw materials in Russia, it is difficult for Russian pulp manufacturers to maintain their production capacity. At present, a large pulp supplier has been forced to suspend production temporarily.

Pulp is the raw material for the production of commodity packaging paper, diapers and toilet paper. The shortage of pulp supply will hit consumers facing the rising prices of fuel and other commodities again.
