South Australian forest industry

South Australia’s plantation forests were established in 1876 and now cover about 168,000 hectares across the Fleurieu, Adelaide Hills, Mid North, and Limestone Coast. The main species grown are radiata pine (Pinus radiata) and Tasmanian blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus).
In 2021-22, the primary production value of logs harvested in the South Australia was $292 million and the processed value (sales of wood products, paper and paper products) was $1.46 billion.
