WOOD PULP FOR JAPAN
Attempt At Increase (N.Z. Press Association) ROTORUA, October 10. The Tasman Pulp and Paper Company, Ltd., will endeavour to increase its shipments of wood pulp to Japan in line with meeting increased demands from other customers “as and when the production situation permits.” A company spokesman said this today when he was commenting on the statement this week by Mr M. Hofftnen, commercial manager of the Forest Service, that Japan had made strong inquiries for wood pulp from New Zealand during the last two or three weeks. Mr Hoffman said that laet year 428 tons of the 70.000 tons of wood pulp exported, had gone to Japan. ‘The Tasman company believes that the market for wood pulp in Japan will continue to strengthen,” said the spokesman in a statement. He said a shortage of soft woods suitable for the manufacture of strong wood pulp existed in Japan, causing the demand for imported pulp to that country to increase. Tasman bad been associated with the Japanese wood pulp market since 1958 and was at present making regular shipments of pulp to Japan.
