The second issue this bill will seek to address is how we maintain market access for our exporters who are trading timber into markets that are introducing timber legality requirements. Forestry is an important industry for New Zealand, it contributes around $6.7 billion to our annual gross income and employs approximately 35,000 people. Timber products are our fourth-largest export earner behind dairy, meat, and horticulture, and forestry export revenue is forecast to increase by 3 percent in 2022 and 2 percent in 2023.
