By the middle of December, publishing houses did not get any guarantees as for future deliveries. The demand for high quality newspaper for full-color printing in Russia increases constantly, while it makes only 5% of total output volumes of Russian newspaper mills. Moreover, local producers export up to 80% of their paper, and the import duty for newspaper is 15%.
