Bath tissue fiber contracts are far out and as a fungible commodity. That goes for both Brazillian stocks and Canadian / American stocks of both hardwood and softwood.
Ramped up production this quarter only results in lost production in June, July, and August.
All premium bath tissue in North America is made of 60% Brazillian hardwood eucalyptus, and 40% North American softwood. I work in the consumer bath tissue industry.

It is nice to get info from someone who works in it. About a week or so ago, when I was looking it up on 'the net', I found it reported 90 percent of American toilet paper was made with American paper and goods. Very sad to hear that is not true. But certainly not the first time I got bad info researching around on the net.
