Asian contract
PA Wellington A newly-formed New Zealand forest consulting company, Groome Poyry, Ltd, has won an Asian Development Bank contract as part of a $lOO million reafforestation project in Indonesia. The contract, worth more than $500,000 will involve several New Zealand staff and will take seven months to complete. Won against competition from Canada, Sweden and the Philippines, the work is aimed at establishing 100,000 ha of plantations in Sumatra, Kalimantan (formerly Borneo) and Sulawesi. In spite of Indonesia
having a vast forest resource, it was. facing a domestic timber shortfall within 15 years, Groome Poyry’s managing director, Mr John Groome, said. He said it was pleasing to see Indonesia and other Asian countries recognising the forestry skills of a New Zealand company at international level. Groome Poyry was formed recently when a New Zealand forest consulting firm, J. G. Groome and Associates, became a joint venture company with Jaakko Poyry Group of Finland, the largest forest-based consulting company in the world.
