reason is on the one hand, the financial crisis originated in the United States and gradually spread to the world leading to economic decline of e countries including China's neighbor Japan and Korea, and the demand weakened. The direct impact on China is the resistance encountered with exports of many products, among which the export products of labor-intensive wood processing, like disposable wood chopsticks suffered greatest impact. On the other hand, the exports of disposable wood chopsticks gradually reduced, which is fully consistent with the reality of China's national conditions and resources. In recent years, advocating the establishment of resourced-saving and environment-friendly society, China developed a number of regulatory measures and policies, the falling of exports of disposable wood chopsticks last year also reflected purpose of the government to establish policy of economic regulation and control.
    Secondly, last year, the import and export of disposable wood chopsticks has a high price level and growth rate, indicating that the international market affected by the decline in resources and other factors, necessities of life like chopsticks has a big jump. It is gratifying that the growth rate of price level of disposable wood chopsticks more than doubled, but the import price is 500 USD less than export price, import price is nearly half of export price.
    Thirdly, the situation of export of disposable bamboo chopsticks of China is not bad in terms of quantity, which is unchanged from 2007, but the price level is on an increasing trend. In the meantime, import quantity is more than doubled, but the import price level has a nearly half decline. This situation is obviously benefited to China, as a large country of production and exports of bamboo products. On the one hand, our government encourages exports of products rich in natural resources like bamboo chopsticks; and on the other hand, import disposable bamboo chopsticks at appropriate price differences from bamboo-producing countries such as South Asia, Southeast Asia, India and Indonesia, it's not only economically viable, but also enrich the variety of our disposable chopsticks, in a long run, it's conducive to the sustainable development of bamboo resources in China.
