Want to enjoy the financial benefits and returns of tree farming but don't have the resources to manage one? NCT Tree Farming may be the answer.
NCT Members, who prefer not to manage their own plantations, are able to purchase the management services and expertise which are tailor-made to suit each individual client's needs.
NCT Tree Farming supplies a total management package which includes the handling of all forestry operations, financial services, administration, marketing and the employment of suitable staff.
Services offered include:
- Effective on-the-ground management.
- Advanced financial and administration services.
- Planning services.
Prior to the management of a farm, a management committee is formed where both parties control the contract. This committee meets as often as is necessary to facilitate and ensure the sustainable management of the estate.
NCT Tree Farming is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCT Forestry Co-operative, formed in 1996 to manage the Co-operative's own plantations and those of its Members who require this service. NCT Tree Farming has a total of 27 contracts and a timber area of some 13 600ha.
NCT owns two farms in the KZN midlands totaling 2 558ha of timber - IngweForests (Lidgetton) and EnonForests (Richmond). NCT also owns a further 1 611ha of timber on leased land in the Baynesfield area.
The purpose of these farms is to act as a reservoir of timber to be felled during times of under-supply. This ensures a consistent supply of quality round wood timber to markets. Since March 2007, NCT Tree Farming also manages the three ShinCel farms in the MooiRiver area, increasing the managed area to a further 1 111.7ha.
