Proposal to launch Brazil imported triplex boxboard price and discontinue domestic solid kraft board price

Fastmarkets proposes to launch a bimonthly price assessment for Brazil imported triplex boxboard, CIF delivered at main ports, 250-320 g/m².

This launch aims to reflect growing trade of imported boxboard grades in Brazil in recent years.

With this move, Fastmarkets plans to discontinue its bimonthly FP-CBB-0005 Brazil Solid kraft board 210-370 g/m² price assessment, due to the low number of transactions in this market and reduced number of suppliers for this grade.

This price will be a part of the Fastmarkets Boxboard/Cartonboard package.
