China's domestic FFF production is forecast to increase to 50,000 tons in MY05/06 from 35,000 tons in MY04/05 because two big production lines are expected to put into production in late 2005. FFF imports are forecast to increase 20 percent to 84,500 tons in MY05/06 driven by strong demand. The United States is the largest FFF exporter to China, however, its share is shrinking because of Canada's rapid expansion.
