The New Zealand government website reported on November 30, 2022 that the New Zealand Forestry Minister Stuart Nash said on the same day that the "Forestry and Wood Processing Industry Transformation Plan" (ITP) launched by the government will promote the development of New Zealand's forestry and wood processing industry to a high value-added, low-carbon and sustainable industry. The ITP has been developed in close collaboration between government and industry to enhance the value and futureproof capabilities of New Zealand's forestry sector and provide New Zealanders with better economic security during the global economic downturn.

新西蘭政府網站2022年11月30日報道，新西蘭林業部長斯圖爾特·納什于當日表示，政府推出的“林業和木材加工業轉型計劃”（ITP）將促進新西蘭林業和木材加工業向高附加值、低碳、可持續的產業發展。ITP是基于政府與行業的密切合作而制定開發的，旨在提升新西蘭林業部門的價值和面向未來的能力，在全球經濟低迷時期為新西蘭人提供更好的經濟保障。

The ITP will launch a series of initiatives from 2023, including:

(a) Implement a programme to increase the diversification of non-radiative pine species in New Zealand;

2. Establish the first institution in New Zealand with the qualification of training graduate students in wood processing;

3. Expand the "Wood - Our Low Carbon Future" campaign to promote the benefits of using indigenous logs to produce low carbon products;

(4) Study how to increase the use of wood products through improved standards and demonstrate the benefits of carbon storage in wood products;

5. Promote and support the commercialization of biological products;

6. Support Maori forestry strategies. The New Zealand Government will allocate S $27 million (approximately US $16.98 million) from the budget to support the implementation of the ITP, with a further S $155 million (approximately US $97 million) earmarked to support ITP-related initiatives and projects.

ITP將從2023年起推出一系列舉措，具體包括：

1、實施一項旨在提升新西蘭非輻射松樹種的種植和加工多樣化的計劃；

2、建立新西蘭首家具備培養木材加工專業研究生資格的機構；

3、擴大“木材——我們的低碳未來”運動的規模，以宣傳利用本土原木生產低碳產品的益處；

4、研究如何通過改進標準增加木制品的使用，以及展現木制品碳儲存的益處；

5、推廣支持生物產品商業化；

6、為毛利人的林業戰略提供支持。新西蘭政府將從財政預算中劃撥2700萬新元（約1698萬美元）用于支持ITP實施，另有1.55億新元（約0.97億美元）?？钣糜谥С峙cITP相關的舉措和項目。

The New Zealand forestry and wood processing industry generates billions of dollars each year. Since 2017, the industry has seen a 22% increase in exports to around S $6.6 billion (US $4.15 billion) in 2021, employing more than 35,000 people in the local community. New Zealand is currently the world's largest exporter of softwood logs, with about 60% of its forest products exported in the form of logs. The ITP lays the foundation for future export growth in the industry. It is expected that by 2030, the processing capacity of the New Zealand wood processing industry is expected to increase by 25%, reaching 3.5 million cubic meters; Increase the use of domestic wood in buildings by 25% by 2030; By 2040, exports of high value-added wood products will increase by S $600 million (about US $380 million).

新西蘭林業和木材加工行業每年創造數十億新元。2017年以來，該行業出口額增長了22%，2021年出口額約66億新元（約41.5億美元），在當地社區雇用超過3.5萬名員工。新西蘭目前是世界上最大的針葉材原木出口國，大約60%的林產品以原木的形式出口。ITP為該行業未來的出口增長奠定了基礎。預計到2030年，新西蘭木材加工行業加工能力有望增加25%，達到350萬立方米；到2030年，將國內木材在建筑中的使用量增加25%；到2040年，高附加值木制品的出口額增加6億新元（約3.8億美元）。

ITP will also support the development of new products for the use of wood in high-tech, low-carbon products, such as building materials, including wood frames, fence panels and decorative panels, as well as biological materials such as liquid and solid fuels. New Zealand will develop a woody biomass industry to turn wood processing residues such as twigs, bark, wood chips and sawdust into particleboard or bio-pellet fuel. These will create more jobs and improve the sustainability of New Zealand's forestry industry.

ITP還將支持開發新產品，將木材應用于高科技低碳產品，例如建筑材料，包括木框架、柵欄板和裝飾板，以及液體和固體燃料等生物材料。新西蘭將發展木質生物質產業，將樹枝、樹皮、木片和鋸末等木材加工剩余物制成刨花板或生物顆粒燃料。這些都將創造更多就業機會并提升新西蘭林業的可持續發展水平。
