Figure 35: Forestry exports byterritorial authority ($m2007)Figure 36: Wood & paper exports by TA ($m 2007)The vast majority of business units in forestry and logging are sole-operator businesseswith no other employees, as shown in figure 37. There are no business units in theWaikato region with more than one hundred employees.The role of the forestry and wood processing sectors in supporting local employment issignificant in four districts in the Waikato region: South Waikato (15.85 per cent ofworkforce, second highest ratio in the country and due mainly to the Carter Holt HarveyKinleith Mill), Rotorua (7.45 per cent), Taupō (7.29 per cent), and Thames-Coromandel(3.82 per cent). 91 There are 1,180 wood processing employees in the Rotorua districtbut none of these are within the Waikato region boundary.Wood and paper manufacturing business units have an average of 11 employeeseach, as illustrated by figure 38, although this figure is likely to be skewed by a smallnumber of large employers such as the Carter Holt Harvey Kinleith Mill. One-third areowner-operator businesses and another one-third have one to five employees.Figure 37: Forestry & loggingbusiness units by number ofemployees (2010)Figure 38: Wood & paper business units bynumber of employees (2010)Forestry and logging is heavily concentrated in South Waikato, Taupō, and to a lesserextent Thames-Coromandel, Ōtorohanga and Waitomo, as shown in figure 39. Thewood and paper manufacturing sector is also significant in these districts, as illustratedby figure 40.91New Zealand Institute of Economic Research Inc (2011, p. 10).Doc # 2069885 Page 35
