Our Vision
The Forests For New Zealand Ltd vision is to invest in and build a significant estate of Pinus Radiata forests within the Canterbury and West Coast regions. Additionally, FFNZ aims to establish new forest plantations and therefore not only maintain, but grow the forest estate and industry within these regions.
How Are We Different
FFNZ aim to take the risk away from you, the grower. Our main point of difference being we will offer a cash price now for your land and trees, or alternatively a cash price now for a forestry right to secure FFNZ the harvesting of your trees on maturity. This removes much of the risk to you. For example wind damage, fire, market fluctuations, log volume changes, contractor management, exchange rate, finance and overhead costs. It will also mean you are free from any New Zealand Health and Safety obligations. Legally as a principal, you cannot contract out of these responsibilities under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992.
FFNZ will pay the 10% deposit to the vendor within 20 business days of the signed sale and purchase agreement becoming unconditional. The remaining balance will be paid on the agreed settlement date.
