Trade Tour Talks Up Timber

Opposition Leader Will Hodgman has hinted there's strong interest in buyers for Tasmanian wood products, following his first official day of a trade mission to Asia.

He's teamed up with Deputy Premier Bryan Green on the overseas trip, in a bid to drum up interest in many sectors including forestry, after allegations business has been sabotaged by green groups.

Mr Hodgman says talks today prove there's a strong market for Tasmanian timber.
