LESSONS AT INTERZUM FOR CHINA HOPEFULS

摘要

KIWIS WAVING the export flag at the recent Interzum exhibition in Southern China looked rather like poor cousins compared with the efforts of other wood product exporting countries. Perhaps it was a reflection of the environment currently being experienced by New Zealand's wood processing sector. The New Zealand effort at the Guangzhou show was left to a small collective of wood processors operating under the New Zealand Pine Exporting Companies (NZPEC) banner. And they were not particularly happy about an alleged lack of government support for their efforts.
