Is New Zealand an established, international wood exporter?
* Forestry is New Zealand’s largest industry after dairy and meat products, with annual exports exceeding NZ $3 billion. * Although only approximately five percent of global timber supply comes from sustainably managed, plantation forests, New Zealand wood exports are a highly sustainable industry. Specifically, 90 percent of New Zealand’s 1.7 million hectares of sustainably managed, renewable plantation forest is planted in New Zealand pine.
