PAGE 14 improved supply chain efficiencies, providing the ability to access diversified markets more consistently. Scale is one of the challenges facing all primary industries in New Zealand. When you look at a single forest and see the number of trucks on the road, or logs stacked at the wharf it looks big, but on the international context we’re not large at all. So it’s important for us to gather scale to enable supply chain efficiencies including ship chartering. AVA Timber’s operations have already commenced selling into Asia and it’s going very well. That scale and sustainability of supply that we can present to customers is a very important part of preserving volume at a time like now when demand is depressed.” AVA Timber has also been working with a range of agencies and customers including MPI, MFAT, and Indian officials to restart export activities into India. “India is an emerging economy in terms of GDP and its demand for product, and that excites us, as it does all primary producers. As countries become wealthier, they consume more wood and wood products and therein lies the opportunities.” From a domestic perspective, Rayonier continues to support a diverse range of domestic customers, and one of the exciting things is the emergence of biofuel and bio-energy demand. “We’re working in that space with several customers across the country. Some are existing industrial users, and there are potential customers looking to develop new plants and products such as wood pellets. The current supply to these customers is either post-harvest waste, plus low quality logs which might previously have been exported as pulp logs or it is displacing domestic pulp logs.” Proudly supplying Rayonier Matariki • Safetree Certified Contractor • Fully Mechanised Ground Based Crews • Terra Cat, Weiler & Ecofrost Machinery CONTACT KYLYE & TANIA TRENGROVE: katlogging@xtra.co.nz | Kylye 027 2077 663 | Tania 021 037 0628 65 Thames Street, Pandora, Napier T 06 833 6650 | F 06 833 6656 E saleshb@thepalletcompany.co.nz www.thepalletcompany.nz HORTICULTURAL INDUSTRIAL EXPORT For next level service visit www.harvestlogistics.co.nz SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT HEALTH & SAFETY AVAILABILITY OF TRUCKS SMART TRUCK UTILISATION Harvest Logistics is a single point of contact for customers, overseeing all aspects of your log cartage requirements from pick up to delivery merv@harvestlogistics.co.nz 0278782537 | ted@harvestlogistics.co.nz 0272750025
