Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the economic performance of a target diameter harvesting management system in a small radiata pine forest in New Zealand. The analysis uses 20 years of harvesting data and shorter periods of data for other economic variables. A pre-harvest inventory was also carried out, which allowed the structure of the forest to be described and the standing crop to be valued.
