A MODEL NZ-CHINA PROCESSING PLAN

Jon Dey from Forme is fresh from inking a deal in China which he hopes will
set up a model for the way logs may be processed in future. Forme was
involved in the signing of a memorandum of understanding for a joint venture
project which will see New Zealand plantation grown pine logs milled and kiln
dried, then sent to Tianjin, China.
************************************************
LOG EXPORT TRADE ‘SALE OF A LIFETIME’ FOR FOREST OWNERS

REBUILD WILL DETERMINE CHILE’S WOOD FUTURE

Chilean forest industry producers are at a crossroads in having wood products
accepted as a high quality housing material. As Aldo Cerda, head of the

reconstruction following February’s devastating earthquake will determine
whether wood is finally accepted as a quality building material in a country
with a tradition based on cement and mortar construction.

coal in coal-fired power plants, utilities are looking for "black pellets" that have
been through a torrefaction process. I am looking for information on
torrefaction technology, such as what works well, vendors, etc.” Please let
me know if you have any guidance on torrefaction technology.

Forestry topics, speakers and opportunities. See details of the conference
below or go to the web site.
www.ugatimberlandinvestment.com
For decades, some university endowments, pension funds and other big
investors have put part of their money to work in the woods. They’ve bought
large tracts of timberland, viewing them as an asset class separate from
stocks, bonds and other forms of real estate, The New York Times’s Tim Gray
writes
UGA’s Center for Forest Business professionals and invited speakers will
provide you insight in the resilience of forest resources and how timberland
values have been impacted by the financial markets. The conference should
meet your timberland questions as well as provide you the information
necessary to make the most prudent timberland investment decisions
involving the process of purchasing, management and divesting a tract of
timberland.
The Center for Forest Business integrates the latest academic research and
sound financial methods to provide education and service to forest industry,
investors and landowners throughout the world.
