The country’s largest farmer says allocation of additional carbon units (NZU) following the five yearly audit by MPI of the company’s forestry assets will also help lift earnings.
The company says its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and revaluations (EBITDAR) forecast for the 2017-18 financial year will be between $47 - $52 million, up from the previous advice at the time it released its half-year result (between $33 and $38 million).
Landcorp chief executive Steven Carden says it is pleasing “that we are likely to produce a better than forecast full year result”.

“This reforecast is particularly pleasing in what has been a challenging year from a climatic perspective.”
