Canfor Pulp Products Inc. said Thursday it will be implementing phased summer curtailments in July and August at its Intercontinental and Northwood NBSK pulp mills in Prince George.

"This is due to a significant deterioration in market conditions, in combination with fibre supply constraints and higher fibre costs resulting from recent sawmill curtailments across the B.C. industry," the company said in a press release.

The curtailments will reduce Canfor Pulp's production output by 75,000 tonnes of NBSK pulp. It intends to resume full production at Intercontinental and Northwood in September, the company said.
