ELEMENTS OF A PRE-INVESTMENT PACKAGE FOR PULP, PAPER, PAPERBOARD AND BUILDING BOARD MANUFACTURE

Provides a pre-investment package intended to help potential investors assess technologies and markets for currently unutilized hardwood species in tropical countries.

AUCHTER, R. J. · 1970

Abstract

The report discusses the technical feasibility of processing extremely hard species, logging techniques for use in areas of great species diversity, forest product market studies by geographical region, and political and financial considerations in the wood and paper industry. In addition, several alternatives to full-scale industrial development are considered, including the use of appropriate technology. It is concluded that the growth of forest product industries in tropical countries depends more on the development of financing than on new technical solutions.
