New Zealand Forestry

Forestry is an important industry for New Zealand, contributing:

• an annual gross income of around $6.6 billion
• 1.6% of New Zealand's GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
• to the employment of between 35,000 and 40,000 people in wood production, processing, and the commercial sector.

Forestry and wood products are New Zealand's fourth-largest export earner, just behind horticulture.

An estimated 34.38 million cubic metres of timber was harvested in the year ended March 2021. Volumes are expected to be high for the next decade (to 2030) as forests planted in recent decades reach maturity.

The export value of forest products in the year to June 2022 was $6.58 billion – $3.63 billion from logs and $2.95 billion from other forest products.

At placement we added a number of swag items, including PWGT collectible trackables and badges.
