Growing World Markets
World consumption of wood products is rising, especially in the Asia Pacific region. Improved standards of living and population growth will mean a greater demand for paper and wood based products.
Forestry is an asset class
Investment in the agribusiness asset class offers investors the opportunity to diversify into a sector that is not correlated in terms of movements in market prices and returns with other asset classes such as equities and property.
Environmental Advantages
Plantations protect native forests, help reduce salinity and soil erosion and create a sink for greenhouse gases.
The Australian Advantage
With more than 700,000 hectares of hardwood plantation, Australia is well located to supply expanding Asian markets.
Continued Government Support
The Australian Government encourages development of plantation forestry through its 'Plantations for Australia: 2020 Vision' statement.
