28/01/2008 -- 5:21 PM

Ha Noi (VNA) - Viet Nam will have to import more than 1 million tonnes of paper this year, said Vo Sy Dong, General Director of the Viet Nam Paper Corporation. Addressing a conference to launch tasks for 2008 in Ha Noi on Jan. 28, General Director Dong noted that the increasing import is due to growing consumption demand while the industry has limited production capacity. Meanwhile, the development of material forests is facing difficulties due to land shortage and uncontrolled logging, he said. Last year, Viet Nam imported around 820,000 tonnes of paper, a year-on-year rise of 16 percent, and more than 120,000 tonnes of pulp paper.-Enditem
