Yes same here on the Mainland. Receivers have just announced closure of Southern Cross mills in Mosgiel and Balclutha.

Its frustrating that NZ cannot add much value to what we produce - we are still a raw commodities exporter. There are two reasons (maybe more):
1. Buyers won't pay the landed price for our product (manufacturing plus labour plus shipping). Or they can't pay the price.
2. Buyers of unprocessed raw product have millions of workers very keen to earn $5/day adding the value at their end. And sometimes selling the results back to us.
Funny old world.
