Wood processing

MPI surveys wood processors from around New Zealand, both quarterly and annually, for their production and stock information. 

How this information is compiled

The information from MPI's surveys is then compiled with export data sourced from Statistics New Zealand. Combining these 2 data sets allows MPI to calculate an estimate for the roundwood removed from New Zealand forests.
