Expectation that a funding boost for our wood processing sector will target New Zealand's slash problem. A new $57 million government fund aims to process logs onshore, move the industry from volume to value and create high wage jobs. It's estimated the fund will see up to $650 million more Gross Domestic Product over its lifetime. Federated Farmers Forestry Spokesperson Toby Williams told Mike Hosking there's opportunity in the domestic wood-processing sector. He says any investment needs to go into solving the slash problems they have. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
