2016 reached 675,542 tonnes, accounting for 40% ofthe total amount of imported containerboard.
Importing kraftliner, paper for cement bag reduces, but imports testliner and flutting medium paper
increased.
In 2016, China continues to hold the leading position among paper exporters in Vietnam with a
volume of 424,000 tonnes, accounting for 24.8% of the total imported paper in Vietnam; followed
by Taiwan (16.0%), Thailand (14.6%), Indonesia (13.2%), South Korea (13.2%), Japan (10.8%) .

machine with the capacity of280,000 tonnes/year (1 machine), followed by the 141,600 tonnes/year
machine (1 machine). The remaining capacites are 100,000 tonnes/y (2 machines); 70,000
tonnes/year; 50,000 tonnes/year and many smaller capacity machines (up to 10,000 tonnes/year).
In 2017, new capacity of 1.5 million tonnes/yr will bring the total packaging paper capacity to 3.2
million tonnes/yr, ,.Qoubling in 2016 with the largest machine 500,000 tonnes/yr of Chengyang

By 2020, the capacity of paper for packaging has increased 2.4 times compared to 2016, 1.5 times
that of2017. •
This data is based on publicly available investment projects. The following years may have other
projects annouced and so the capacity of packaging paper in 2020 may be over 4 million tonnes and
Vietnam may be second only to Indonesia in paper production in Southeast Asia.
The above are the main features of the paper industry in Vietnam.
I hope to please you and be ready to answer your questions
Thank you
