Suzano, the world's largest pulp producer, plans to increase investment in the Chinese market by focusing on bio-based materials, logistics infrastructure and strengthening local partnerships, Suzano CEO Beto Abreu said in an interview with Xinhua on March 18.

“China is one of the largest and fastest growing pulp and paper markets in the world,” said Abreu, adding that the company has great confidence in the growth of the Chinese market and intends to develop new products based on its bio-based strategy.
