As we all know, Japan is a small island country. Compared with other countries, they have few natural resources. It is precisely because of this that they pay more attention to environmental protection and ecological balance. Although Japan is a small country, its forest coverage rate is quite wide, up to 90%, which makes Japan the first in the world.
So they pay so much attention to ecological balance, where do their daily needs come from? In fact, most of them still rely on imports. For example, 96% of disposable chopsticks used in Japanese restaurants are imported from China.
Then there is another important reason why they import a lot, that is, the production cost in their own country is relatively high. On the premise of similar production costs, they are of course willing to choose to import, after all, this can always maintain their ecological balance.
In addition, the Japanese have a strong sense of environmental protection. They think that disposable chopsticks are in great demand, and it would be a waste if they are thrown away only once. So they also thought about making these discarded disposable chopsticks into pulp and exporting them to China, so that they can not only be reused, but also increase their income.
In fact, they don't know that the wood used to make chopsticks is a fast-growing tree. After cutting, they will grow again as long as the nutrition can keep up quickly. We don't need what they call pulp imports at all.
Now Japan seems to realize the importance of development opportunities. /kloc-Today, 0/5 years later, they also began to cut down trees and export them to China. At present, the value of Japanese timber imported by China has reached 9.8 billion US dollars, and this figure is still growing.
