Construction scale: it is to annually import and transship 1 million cubic meters of timber and to process 500,000 cubic meters.
It is forecasted by related domestic departments that the annual insufficiency of economic timber in China will rise from 40 million cubic meters to 90 million cubic meters between 2000 and 2010. To encourage timber import, the government has rescinded the import tax and exclusive limitation on timber management. Zhejiang province, a large consumer of timer, demands several millions cubic meters of timber from abroad and other province in China. With the economic development and the decrease supply of timber from other provinces, Zhejiang is in an urgent need of setting up a base for timber importing and multiprocessing. This project will be implemented through steps according to the general planning. The construction will include the land development for a storage & trade zone of 400,000 sq.m. and a processing zone of 40 million sq.m..
It is estimated that the annual business income will reach 250 million yuan and annual profit 60 million yuna.
