Abstract

New Zealand’s timber availability is projected to increase to 35m3 by early 2020s. This will require marketing additional 7m3
of timber logs. According to New Zealand Forest Owners Association, it is observed that more than 53% of country’s timber
logs are exported to different countries. Export of prefab timber panels in place of timber logs, can increase the domestic
wood processing business and at the same time there will be an increase in export of value-added products. This study aims
at reviewing the export potential of prefabricated panels used to create packaged houses to promote business and
economic activities.
