New Zealand Radiata Pine: a bright & sustainable future

新西兰辐射松：一个光明和可持续的未来

New Zealand radiata pine’s versatility, secure supply, and high aesthetic value make it a desirable product on the global market.

新西兰辐射松以其广泛的商业应用、可持续的稳定供应以及高美学价值成为全球市场上深受欢迎的木材品种。

Through pine research and development, professional forest management, and world-leading harvesting and processing practices, New Zealand radiata pine is a trustworthy, desirable choice for wood furniture makers and architects looking for sustainably crafted products.  

通过松木树种的研究与开发、专业的森林管理、以及世界领先的采伐和加工技术，新西兰辐射松成为了那些寻求可持续产品的木制家具制造商和建筑师们值得信赖的理想选择。

Its popularity is why forestry product exports from New Zealand for 2019 totalled $6.9billion, with the Chinese market accounting for over 48% of New Zealand’s total forestry exports.

2019年，新西兰林产业产品出口总额是69亿美元，其中中国市场就占了林业出口总额的39%以上，足可见其受欢迎的程度。

New Zealand radiata pine: sustainable and secure

新西兰辐射松:可持续和安全性

With warm days, cool nights, fertile soil, and evenly distributed rainfall, New Zealand’s conditions are ideal for fast-growing trees that produce high-quality timber. And because New Zealand radiata pine matures at a rate of 30 years in continuous rotation, it provides increasing volume for the future which means we have confidence in the long-term security of supply.

昼暖夜凉的气候，肥沃的土壤以及分布均匀的降雨，新西兰的自然条件非常有利于速生林的生长的，更能产出优质的木材。同时，新西兰辐射松的成熟轮伐期为30年，未来产量充足，长期稳定的供应是十分有保障的。

New Zealand’s forestry industry is rooted in sustainably managed exotic plantation forests that cover 1.66 million hectares, of which New Zealand radiata pine makes up 90%. The total standing volume of forests is estimated to be 501 million cubic metres (as at December 2020). Intensively managed New Zealand radiata pine forests now form the backbone of New Zealand’s forestry industry.

新西兰的林业产业植根于169万公顷可持续管理的外来树种人工林，其中辐射松占90%。截至2020年12New Zealand is one of just a few countries that has not only a sustainable supply of timber but also an increase in its total timber production. Forecasts indicate that radiata pine availability from the New Zealand forest estate will increase over the next 10 years, rising to levels of up to 35 million m3 per year from the mid-2020s. 

新西兰是少数几个不仅有可持续的木材供应资源，而且木材总产量也在增加的国家之一。预测表明，新西兰的辐射松可供应量在接下来的10年内将持续保持增长，从2020年代中期开始，其最大年采伐量预计将达到3500万立方米。

And domestic production is ramping up. As of September 2019, sawn timber production totalled 4.4 million cubic metres, panel production 1.8 million cubic metres, and 1.4 million tonnes of air-dry wood pulp. 

同时，新西兰国内的木材加工业也在稳步发展。截至2019年9月，新西兰的锯材年产量总计440万立方米，人造板产量为180万立方米，风干木浆140万吨。

With growth in the volume of wood and production increasing, New Zealand radiata pine importers can trust in a consistent supply of sustainable timber. The majority of New Zealand’s plantations are third party certified through the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).  These are international, non-governmental organisations dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests.

随着采伐量和加工量的增长，在中国的新西兰辐射松进口商们对其供应的稳定性可以有足够的信心。同时，新西兰的大多数人工林是得到了第三方认证的，包括森林管理委员会(FSC)或森林认证体系认可计划(PEFC) -- 这些都是致力于促进世界森林负责任管理的国际性非政府组织。

In addition to non-government bodies, New Zealand’s plantation forests are governed by a regulatory framework that places several requirements on forest growers. These include the employment, social, cultural and environmental impacts of their work. 

除了非政府组织机构外，新西兰的人工林还受到一个监管框架的管理，该监管框架对森林经营者提出了若干要求，包括其对就业、社会、文化和环境的影响。

For example, New Zealand’s 2018 National Environmental Standard for Plantation Forestry (NES-PF) provides further environmental protection that covers activities including pruning, earthworks river crossings, harvesting, land preparation, and replanting. It’s a level of environmental responsibility that doesn’t exist in other countries.

例如，新西兰2018年人工林国家环境标准(NES-PF)对修枝、土方工程、河流穿越、采伐、整地和再种植等方面提供了进一步的环境保护要求。这种对环境保护负责任的水平是远远高于其他国家的。

Research and development dedicated to sustainability

致力于可持续性的研究和开发

Extensive research into growth characteristics, forest health, forest management, harvesting techniques, wood performance, and new products keeps New Zealand radiata pine at the forefront of the global timber export market. 

对生长特性、森林健康、森林管理、采伐技术、木材性能和新产品的广泛研究使得新西兰辐射松在全球木材出口市场中名列前茅。

A major programme of genetic improvement and advanced forest management techniques produces wood with a superior yield and desirable characteristics, including pruning for clear wood. As radiata pine grows all year round in New Zealand, the wood density growth ring is more consistent than in other woods.

依靠大规模的遗传基因改良计划和先进的森林管理技术，包括通过修枝获得净材，新西兰得以培育出具有高出材率和特定材性的木材。由于新西兰的辐射松一年四季都在生长，其木材密度生长年轮与其他树种相比会更加一致。

Another main focus is on building thriving environments for sustainable forestry. Healthy soils are just one example. With forest health and productivity reliant on soil structure, topsoil depth, rooting depth, hard pans, texture, water-holding capacity, and nutrient supply, New Zealand soil scientists are constantly learning more about the relationship between soil health and forest productivity.

同时，新西兰也致力于为可持续林业发展构建良好的环境。健康的土壤只是一个例子。由于森林健康和生产力依赖于土壤结构、表土深度、根系深度、土壤硬度、质地、持水能力和养分供给这些条件，新西兰土壤科学家不断地深入研究土壤健康和森林生产力之间的关系。

The results of all this research and development are worth it. In a well-managed plantation, New Zealand pine will grow up to eight times faster than managed natural forests. In 30 years, one hectare can produce as much quality wood as 10 hectares of tropical forest in South-East Asia, or 40 hectares of Amazon forest.

所有这些研究和开发都是很有成效的。在一个管理良好的林地里，新西兰辐射松人工林的生长速度比天然林快8倍。以30年一个轮伐周期为例，一公顷辐射松人工林的商品材产量相当于10公顷的东南亚热带林或40公顷的亚马逊热带林所产出的木材量。

New Zealand is your trusted trade partner

新西兰是你们可信赖的贸易伙伴

New Zealand is committed to strong principles of an open, rules-based international trading systems. The New Zealand-China Free Trade Agreement lowered some of the barriers to trade in wood products, and the recent upgrade means that, once fully implemented, 99% of wood and paper products to China will receive tariff-free access. 

新西兰坚定不移地拥护开放的、有序的的国际贸易体系。中新自贸协定降低了部分木制品贸易壁垒，而最近的升级更意味着，一旦协定全面实施，99%的对华木制品和纸制品将获得零关税准入
