The quality of chopsticks produced in Japan is very good, but can't be sold.Netizen: Can't afford it!

Japan is a country with a fast pace of life. Many people are too busy to go out to eat at restaurants or eat lunch. Since you have to eat, you must use chopsticks. Although the demand for disposable chopsticks in Japan is very large, the chopsticks produced in their own country cannot be sold. Why?

Everyone knows that Japan is a country with a small country and a lack of natural resources. However, in terms of wood, Japan's forest retention rate is among the top few, and it is one of the few forest countries in the world. Although they have so many forest resources, they rarely cut down the trees in their own land to make disposable chopsticks, most of which are imported from China.

The disposable chopsticks produced in Japan not only have a lot of steps but also need to go through a number of strict processing procedures before they can flow into the market for people to use. Although the quality is much better than that of the imported ones, it greatly increases the production cost. Compared with the price imported from China, the price of their own disposable chopsticks has increased dozens of times. Therefore, few Japanese people are stupid to buy chopsticks produced in the country.

It must be said that although the export of disposable chopsticks to China has brought income to some places and created certain employment opportunities, this industry has also brought many problems to China.

Different from the “sparing” method adopted in Japan, China's forest harvesting mostly adopts the “one-lighting” type of cutting method, which should be said to be destructive harvesting of existing forest resources. Due to the lack of subsequent tree planting work, the original renewable forest resources have become one-time resources. This is a great waste of China's forestry resources.

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, so it is very necessary to reduce the use of wooden chopsticks. And what do you think of such a thing? Tell me what you think!
