WE MAKE A LOSS! After 43 years of fat profits from the
rapacious pillage of the forests of SE NSW and East
Gippsland, we have achieved the impossible. Even though our
raw material costs went DOWN (thank you, taxpayers) and our
exports remained high (922,551 GMT), we managed to lose
money. How much longer will our Japanese owners tolerate
this before they close us down? WATCH THIS SPACE.
Our Mission Statement South East Forest Exports is committed to turning the forests of Eden
into the world’s cheapest woodchips.
Before the advent of woodchipping by SEFE in 1970, the
forests of Eden and East Gippsland were untidy and unproductive,
infested with wild animals and nuisance species such as gliders, koalas, potoroos,
quolls, bandicoots, tree ferns
and native orchids.
We are proud of our progress towards meeting our goal to have no
mature forest left standing in the region, with uniform aged, single
species vigorous regrowth replacing old useless forest.
