Another announcement by New Zealand Forestry, Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay at the Fieldays Forestry Hub, was about inbound and outbound forestry trade missions with India that had occurred in 2025. These were aimed at strengthening New Zealand trade links, deepening industry ties, and unlocking greater value for both countries’ forestry and wood processing sectors. Source: Timberbiz “India is one of the fastest-growing markets for our forestry exports and we’re focused on turning that growth into long-term opportunity for New Zealand exporters,” Mr McClay said. New Zealand’s wood exports to India have surged from NZ$9.5 million in 2023 to an estimated NZ$76.5 million this year. Pulp exports have more than doubled, from NZ$20 million to NZ$45.6 million. “Increased engagement with India is already delivering results. We’re now building on that momentum with a targeted sector focus, including hosting an Indian delegation in New Zealand and planning a Minister-led mission to India later this year.” The inbound visit, supported by industry partners, will showcase New Zealand’s world-class forestry systems and sustainable management practices. While the outbound mission will continue to open doors for deeper commercial and government partnerships. “Our relationship with India is a priority, and forestry is a key part of that. The goal is clear: to grow the market, remove barriers, and drive better returns back to New Zealand’s foresters and processors.”
