Wood, timber product exports to hit 8 billion USD
Friday, December 8,2017AsemconnectVietnam - Exports of wood and timber products are expected to hit 8 billion USD in 2017, surpassing the yearly target of 7.5 billion USD, according to Nguyen Ton Quyen, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Timber and Forest Product Association.
Strong growth of wood exports was seen in key markets such as the US (up 18.8 percent), the RoK (14.2 percent) and Canada (13.4 percent). The trend was attributed to an increase in processed wooden products, such as MDF (Medium-density fibre board), particle board and artificial board.
Annual wood trade between Vietnam and EU is 650 – 700 million USD, or 12 – 15 percent of the nation’s export value, according to Quyen.
Meanwhile, To Xuan Phuc from the US-based Forest Trends, said Vietnam’s wood and timber exports to the US, currently worth up to 2.7 billion USD, might be affected by the US’s policy of creating more jobs in the US.
The US, Japan, the EU, China and the Republic of Korea are the biggest importers of Vietnam’s wood and timber products, accounting for 90 percent of the total value of the sector. The US makes up 42.7 percent, followed by China (14.1 percent) and Japan (13.7 percent).
