1990

Statistical information on the forestry harvesting industry in New Zealand is confused. Production rates and productivity for harvesting operations dominated by large piece size old crop radiata are mainly of historical interest. Production rates and productivity will drop with piece size in the transition to young crop radiata stands and work content will increase in the bush and on the landing. Thinning productivity has increased with piece size but the lack of standards and definitions makes meaningful comparisons difficult. Increased research effort with full industry participation and cooperation is required to clarify the state of the productivity factors
