Mexico - Eucalyptus exports in 2002?

• Temple-Inland has been exploring alternative uses of the eucalyptus fiber it is growing in Southeastern Mexico (E. grandis).

• Woodchip exports may begin as early as 2002, more likely 2003, to an as-yet unspecified customer in the US South. Volumes expected to reach 300,000 BDMT annually.

• Pulsar Group continues to push massive 300,000 hectare plantation development scheme. Little accomplished to date. Anticipate some eucalyptus fiber available for export.

• Bamboo fiber available in Mexico --- no international interest.
