TAILIEUCHUNG - Biofuel production technologies: status, prospects and implications for trade and development

This recent trend of the FDI into the Brazilian pulp and paper sector is probably connected to the general international trend for substituting long for short-fiber pulp that has been observed in the pulp industry. The international producers are searching for new mixtures of the two fibers aiming to increase the content of short-fiber pulp, which is the cheapest one. Consequently a strong increase in the international demand for short-fiber pulp is expected2 . This trend implies that Brazil has become the preferential destination for the big pulp and paper TNCs investments, because this a water and land resources abundant country. | United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Biofuel production technologies status prospects and implications for trade and development New York and Geneva 2008 Notes The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country territory city or area or of its authorities or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
