Abstract: The constitution of ownership and current trends of company exotic forestry in New Zealand are elaborated and the reasons for these discussed. Eighty-nine per cent, of company forests are now held by enterprises carrying out their own utilization, many areas having been acquired by such firms during the past ten years.
A continuing lack of finance and unfavourable taxation regulations are given as reasons for the present restricted extension of forests by companies. Three possible schemes to alleviate this situation are suggested.
