As we all know China now produces half of the world’s plywood of all kinds, including commercial plywood and film faced plywood. But as a country that is not abundant in wood resources, you might all wonder how can China did it. There are a bunch of reasons and here we are going to explain why your plywood supplier in China has an advantage.

1. Poplar As Plywood Core

Poplar is a widely planted economic tree in north China. Chinese government encouraged farmers to plant those trees to stop the sand from the northwest and also the trees itself can be sold to the veneering mill at a fair price. It’s the national policy to plant poplar trees at any piece of vacant land.

2. Supply Chain Advantage

The whole supply chain of plywood producing is gathered over there in a few cities of plywood exports. Like Linyi in Shandong province. The hot press machine, glue, veneers are all ready.

3. Massive Production

Most plywood factories in China won’t stop production because they have a vast domestic market to support their production. Even sometimes they will sell at cost price to maintain the business.

4. Skilled Workers

This is maybe one of the most important reasons Chinese plywood is getting more shares in the world. Skilled workers do the job faster and they know how to control the quality and reduce the cost at every step of manufacturing the plywood.
