Forest and Paper Integration - Investment Diversification (China)

It can be seen from the above that the role of market opportunities has already begun to appear, and has received no less than a return. It is worth pointing out that Guangdong, because it has formulated a flexible and relaxed policy to encourage the development of private forestry and created a better market environment, it has achieved significant results. It seems that the Institute’s research estimates that there will be 200-300 {billion yuan per year of private capital (including foreign capital) may be attracted to forestry, not too exaggerated. However, in the vast areas outside Guangdong, there are still few private capitals entering the forestry industry. There are many obstacles that hinder the marketization of forestry paper.
3 Major obstacles to marketization of forestry paper
Fundamentally, the main obstacle to the forest paper marketization process is institutional obstacles, which means deepening reforms and institutional innovations. The primary connotation and premise of institutional innovation is to renew ideas, that is, to remove conceptual obstacles. In this regard, I published "Several Perspectives on the Sustainable Development Strategy of China's Paper Industry" in the "China Paper Industry" in November 2000. The following ten points in the article are to update the concept:
(1) About industry positioning
(2) About fiber raw material structure
(3) With regard to forestry and paper integration and forestry system reform
(4) About using foreign capital
(5) About industrialization and privatization
(6) About technical equipment policy
(7) Relationship and Policy on Ecological Environment and China's Paper Industry Development
(8) Impact on China's paper industry after joining the WTO
(9) About government protection, support and equal competition
(10) About technological innovation and institutional innovation
Here, I would like to make the following additions to "3. Regarding forestry-paper integration and forestry system reform" of the above 10 viewpoints:
(1) There is a shortage of recoverable forest resources in China, but the supply of papermaking raw materials is sufficient. (Sui Wenzheng 2002)
In 2000, China's output of wood pulp was only 2 million tons, and consumed about 9 million cubic meters of wood, accounting for only 8.2% of total wood consumption. The role of wood in the papermaking industry in China is still far from being exerted. Therefore, it is clearly unfounded that China's lack of forest resources is the result of slow development of wood pulp and papermaking, and that it has to import large quantities of wood. (Zhang Lei 2002)
Zhang Lei also made an accurate calculation. The result is:
——The available timber resources for the papermaking in the existing forest resources, 50% of the annual net growth for papermaking, can produce 9.32 million tons of wood pulp, which is 4.66 times the output of wood pulp in 2000.
- Even if all existing forests are not harvested, and 40% of the forests in the south of the collective forest area and Shaolin's 10 provinces and regions are used to create paper-making forests, it will be effective in 5-6 years, and the annual output will increase by 760. Million tons of wood pulp.
——Our country has abundant bamboo resources and can produce 13.22 million tons of bamboo pulp each year.
The above data is undoubtedly credible and the conclusion is correct. It has increased our confidence in the integration of forestry and paper. However, this conclusion is of no significance to the study of forestry and paper integration in the market economy. At most, it can serve as the starting point for our research: why is the face of so many forestry resource paper mills reluctant to use, and the industry has called for the development of wood pulp production for many years? To no avail, resulting in a large number of imported pulp and paper products? This is the main question we want to study. In the past, during the planned economy period, the forestry department made similar calculations and reached the same conclusion. However, the proportion of wood pulp production has not only risen but also declined. This is even more unthinkable. The past may not be studied, but in the future, the integration of forestry and paper research will come to the forefront. That is, where are the major obstacles to forestry marketization? We must conduct in-depth investigations and studies from conceptual obstacles to institutional obstacles.
(2) Is forestry a weak industry?
First of all, we must separate the ecological forest from the industrial plantation. The former is a social public product. Of course, the government must strictly control it. The latter is a competitive industry in the market. There is no distinction between strong and weak. The key is to create a good market environment, greatly reduce transaction costs, and promote full competition. I have one paragraph of the following ten viewpoints on “1. Regarding industry positioning”: “In today’s development of a market economy, there is no need to deliberately pursue any 'fundamental industry', and there is no need to look forward to 'national strategic status', let alone China’s paper industry. The basic point of the development strategy is 'national determination and confidence', but it should be guided by the country’s industrial policy, and the market's 'invisible hand' is the most effective way to allocate resources, that is, the strategic base point is placed on the market.” It may also be useful for forestry.
(3) Due to the large absolute amount of forest resources and the “three branches and seven branches” feature, the task of forest resources management is heavier. It is necessary to adhere to the “evil mountain” and “strict management forest” in order to protect the ecological security of the country. A truly comprehensive well-to-do society can ensure the sustainable development of society and economy. (Sui Wenzheng 2002)
I understand that this phrase refers to the ecological forest. This is exactly what it should be. However, the word "pipe" should not be emphasized for industrial plantations, but at the moment it should be emphasized. The starting point for releasing and loosening according to law is how to mobilize the enthusiasm of investors and the majority of forest farmers, and how to promote forestry industrialization. As long as policies and laws are adapted to the laws of market economy, and the market is free and orderly, farmers will only plant more trees and grow more trees. The peasants are the most practical “reasonable economic man”. How can they cut the “flesh” on their own? Similarly, for large numbers of private entrepreneurs who enter the forestry industry, they will not even decipher.
The above points of view are simple and clear. They do not apply the doctrine of economics, but they are summed up from the experience of many years of actual work. Many examples are based on vivid examples. The author deeply understands that the “We are passing the mark” that Mr. Wu Jinglian said is to overcome the enormous resistance from the old concepts and vested interests to reform, and to work hard to clear the institutional obstacles on the road to economic development.
Regarding institutional barriers to the marketization of forestry papers, we only talk about forests here. The paper talks a lot about them. Moreover, the fundamental issue of forestry-institutionalization is not in the forest. As an outsider talking about forestry, it may be that "the ignorant is fearless." (To be continued)
