The Importance of Establishing the Storage Mechanism of Bamboo Chips for Papermaking

Being abundant in nature,bamboo plants boast high fiber content and superior fiber quality,making them one of the ideal raw materials for papermaking. The technology of preparing paper pulp from bamboo has become sophisticated,and large-scale production has been realized,which represents an emerging sector of papermaking industry in China. Bamboo has specific growth periods and must be harvested at appropriate ages. Bamboo harvesting is a seasonal practice,and rainy seasons and busy farming seasons shall be avoided. Bamboo chips have a storage period and a stabilization period. The supply of standard bamboo chips to paper factories ought to be continuous and quantifiable. Therefore,establishing a storage mechanism of semi-finished bamboo products for pulp making is essential to improving the industrial chain of bamboo papermaking. Only by establishing a robust warehousing chain can we ensure the orderly supply of raw materials,enhance farmers' income,and provide new market space and growth levers for local economic development. The operation of warehousing mechanism is of considerable strategic significance for unleashing the full potential of local bamboo resources and integrating the development of primary,secondary and tertiary industries.
