China has become the major destination for Eucalyptus chips from Australia with record-high shipments in 2015, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly

Australia has increased exportation of Eucalyptus chips by 58% in three years to reach a record-high in 2015, according to the Wood Resource Quarterly. Shipments to pulp mills in China have gone up substantially and the costs for chips landed in this growing market have increased the past two years to practically equal those of chip costs delivered to Japan.
