Abstract: Tall oil production is closely related to the production of pine sulphate pulp since it is a byproduct of the Kraft paper manufacturing process. Tall oil output in the United States increased sharply from 125 million pounds in 1943 to a record 990 million in 1963. Based on current prospects, output in 1964 probably will exceed a billion pounds for the first time. A major factor in the growth of tall oil consumption, other than improvement in quality and development of new uses, has been its relatively low, steady price compared with the wide price fluctuations of higher-priced linseed and soybean oils.
