There will be plenty of paper in the country — said Wiktor Jewtuchow, deputy head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
According to Jewtuchow, Russian producers have found suppliers of the necessary ingredients, and one of the factories will produce a new grade of paper, «not bright white». «Now the situation is normalizing, prices are returning to the levels from January-February, and there will be no deficit in the near future, because [Светлогорский целлюлозно-бумажный] The plant has announced that it already carries out almost 80% of those orders that were before this situation — he said.
«As for paperwork, everything is normal in the country,» Jewtuchow said. He noted that there are three largest producers of this paper in the Russian Federation — in the Leningrad, Komi and Arkhangelsk regions.
The deputy minister said that the plant in Svetlogorsk had found suppliers in India and China, and was also offered Russian ingredients. “This is a new type of paper and it will be a slightly different color, not light white. But it will use chlorine-free chemicals, so it will still be eco-paper, ”he explained.
Yevtuchow confirmed that the Ministry of Industry and Trade saw a shortage of office paper in the Russian Federation and an increase in prices from sellers, in some cases more than 20 times, now the Prosecutor General’s Office is checking this. “We turned to our colleagues from the General Prosecutor’s Office about this. Now, as far as I know, this situation is being checked, ”said TASS.
