BOSTON, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -- 
 
    RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry, today announced the publication of 
the New Annual Review of Global Pulp and Paper Statistics. This new release includes two years of historical data 
for fiber, paper and board production, imports, exports and apparent consumption by region and country. The NEW 
Annual Review has been crosschecked and standardized by RISI economists, ensuring more balanced, and 
harmonized data than in previous editions. The 2009 Edition is consistent, easily comparable and more reliable 
than ever before. 
 
 
    Rod Young, RISI's Chief Economic Advisor said, "This is significant improvement from previous releases of 
aggregated raw data. Indeed, each country around the world was checked and verified for accuracy by a RISI 
regional economist, and when data were missing or seemingly inaccurate, we contacted mills and local data 
sources to complete missing data and verify accuracy." He continued, "The New Annual Review now represents 
the most comprehensive and complete collection of recovered paper, pulp, paper, and board statistics by country 
for the entire world."
