Survey update
AFCA recently engaged Margules Groome to conduct:
- A survey to research and profile the characteristics and size of the forest harvesting and haulage sector.
- An economic analysis of the contribution of the forest harvesting and haulage sector to the Australian economy.
We want to send a big thank you to everyone to the 258 businesses who participated in our national survey. The valuable inputs will help improve our understanding of the important contribution of forest contractor businesses.
