A method for manufacturing cellulosic material includes: introducing cellulose fibers as cellulosic raw material to a system, conveying the cellulose fibers to an extruder comprising a mixing part and/or a refining part, dosing at least one chemical to the system before the extruder and/or in the extruder and performing a reaction between the cellulose fibers and the chemical(s) at least partly in the extruder, wherein the reaction is performed at a consistency of at least 40%, and/or dosing at least one chemical to the system before the extruder and/or in the extruder and mixing the cellulose fibers and the chemical(s) in the mixing part of the extruder, wherein the mixing step is performed at a consistency of at least 40%, and/or refining the introduced cellulose fibers at least partly in the refining part of the extruder, wherein the refining step is performed at a consistency of at least 5%.
