Eye on the softwood situation in northern Europe
Our NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft) pulp product UPM Conifer has formed the backbone of our business from the outset. The raw material – spruce and pine – mainly comes from Finnish forests, but historically Russia has also been an important wood raw material supplier to the Nordic industry. After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and Russian wood imports were banned, the availability of softwood fibre has become more challenging. Imports from Russia to Finland were around 9 million cubic metres a year which has been missing since the spring of 2022.
