TÜV Rheinland - LGA Furniture Laboratory: Technical Requirements - Testing and Wood Export

The total export balance during the first half year of 2009 of Vietnam is US$27.6 billion. There has been a reduction of 18.7% in export of wood industry in comparison with the last year period and the export balance has only reached US$1.1 billion while it is one of the key export industries.

 

According to report from Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade, the economy of Vietnam has been recovered from the global economic crisis, but the economies from other countries in Asia are recovering as well. Since those countries have similar export products as Vietnam, also with competitive prices, the local wood processing industry here has to face a severe competition also in the future. Beside these challenges, the exporting industry - especially wood manufacturers - has to meet more and more technical requirements.
