According to the China National Bureau of Statistics, viscose staple fibre production during April shrank fractionally on the previous month to 256,000 tonnes. Nonetheless, this figure was still 6.67% higher than the comparable level last year.
Cumulative production between January and April totalled 1.01 million tonnes, up 6.55% year-on-year.
The expansion of viscose staple fibre production during April was bolstered by robust exports, whilst the viscose value plunged to a record low.
