Forestry is key growth driver in South Australia

Friday 26 May 2017

In responding to the Deloitte report released Making it big Adelaide, AFPA SA Manager John Stokes says it confirms the importance of forestry industry to the South Australian economy. “As part of the agribusiness sector, Forestry contributes AU$1.5billion to the state’s economy and employs directly and indirectly over 22,000 people” Mr Stokes said.

“The Deloitte report shows that agriculture, forestry and fishing contribute more value per person in SA than in Victoria; more than any other sector. AFPA is working hard to ensure that policies and initiatives are put in place by all levels of government to support the continued growth of the forest, wood and paper industries. This is particularly important for regional SA”.
