Abstract

The establishment of a forest plantation will provide a steady source of fibrous raw material to the wood-based industries when the supply of existing raw materials faces depletion or becomes more expensive. The suitability of forest plantation species for pulp and paper and reconstituted products has been established but their commercial utilization potential has yet to be realised. Before considering setting up a pulp and paper mill several factors need to be considered such as the availability of fibrous raw material to sustain its continuous operation and the scale of operation required depending on the investment capability and market demand. A comparison of the scale of operation between the pulp and paper and reconstituted products industries is presented to illustrate the investment required for a given production capacity
