Calling on NZ Farmers: Could some parts of your land be earning better returns from forestry?
- There's a rumour out there that the forestry industry is trying to take over productive farmland throughout New Zealand. That is simply untrue.
- When you stop and analyse land use there are always going to be some areas of land that are less productive under a farming business model than they could be.
- We believe that farming is crucial to the New Zealand economy, and we want to help farmers generate better returns from their land by enhancing the land-use through a mix of pasture and forestry.
- We can help you take those pockets of land that aren't as productive on the farm and establish forests for better returns.
WE CAN HELP YOU ESTABLISH A FOREST ON YOUR FARM WITH NO CAPITAL OUTLAY
You have several ways that you could go about it:
- Establish the new forest via your own financial means.
- Establish a forest under joint venture with an investor.
This can take a few different forms:
- They (the investor) pay the establishment and cover management costs. In return they keep the carbon, and you keep the forest to harvest when it suits you.
- They establish the forest and cover management costs; you receive an annual rental for the land and in return they keep the carbon and any proceeds from the harvest.
- They pay a lower annual land rental, and you take a portion of the carbon and/or harvest revenue in the future.
It is important to point out that in all these scenarios there is no carbon liability remaining with the trees after harvest as long as trees are replanted on the site.
