Wood availability forecasts (WAF) provide stakeholders with vital information for:
• forest industry planning and investment;
• infrastructure planning by government agencies (central and local government) and private logistical suppliers; and
• for government policy advice.

The landscape of forestry in New Zealand has changed since the last WAF including through – the introduction of the One Billion Trees Programme, changes to the Emissions Trading Scheme for forestry, and an increasing carbon price all leading to increasing levels of afforestation and, potentially, changes in decisions about future harvesting. We need to understand how these factors have affected the forestry sector.

Forecasting wood availability requires resource data and a series of forecasting assumptions based on market conditions and knowledge at a given point in time. The input resource data will be derived from the National Exotic Forest Description (NEFD) database. MPI requires an experienced supplier with New Zealand wide forest industry and modelling expertise to provide up to date regional and national wood availability forecasts.

This tender has been awarded.
