Cardboard for the delivery of parcels from online stores of China are planning to produce in the Far East, which decided to create a cluster for processing wood, said in an interview with RIA “Novosti” the head of the Agency of the Far East to attract investment and support exports (IPA), Leonid Petukhov. He recalled that the government decided to introduce additional duties on the export of round wood to make processing developed in the Russian Federation.

“The way this industry is working now, of course, leaves much to be desired, because a significant part of the Russian forest is processed in China, and from there with a huge added value products come to Japan, America. Our task is to make the timber processing cluster located on our territory”, – said Petukhov.

He noted that it was for this purpose that an agreement was signed with the Chinese company China Paper Corporation in 2018 on the construction of a pulp and paper mill in the far East, and the selection of land and forest plots is already underway. Petukhov said that he expects that the construction of the Central Bank in the Khabarovsk territory will begin in 2019.

“Many people know that cardboard is in great demand in the Chinese market. Because more and more in China carried out online delivery, respectively, each item is Packed in a separate cardboard box. In this regard, the growth of interest is very large. At the same time, due to the trade war between China and the United States, the import of waste paper from the States to China has become much more difficult, so, of course, the Chinese government is considering the possibility of producing pulp, and from it – cardboard, outside the country. We have a fairly large part of the forest is larch, which makes very good cardboard. Therefore, we have chosen about five or six places and actively advertise this story,” the head of the IPA explained, expressing hope that the creation of an industrial Park for wood processing will start in the coming year.

The Agency for attracting investments and supporting exports is one of the institutions for the development of the Far East, whose tasks include attracting new residents to the territories of advanced development and to the free port of Vladivostok, direct investments, and supporting exports.
