Output of market pulp totalled 202.6 thousand tonnes, 3.6 thousand tonnes (1.8%) up as compared to the first five months of 2006.

Container board output amounted to 85.3 thousand tonnes, 7.1 thousand tonnes (7.7%) down year-over-year. Such a drop in containerboard output is due to a long-term stage-by-stage general halting at Bratsk Pulp and Containerboard Mill facilities.
