Over 400 enterprises will attend the first Vietnam Forestry Product Festival themed “Vietnamese Forestry Products: Integration and Sustainable Development” from March 26-29, 2011 in the port city of Quy Nhon in the central province of Binh Dinh.
Not only offering opportunities for investment and cooperation among domestic and foreign companies, the festival also honours scientists, managers, producers and consumers who have greatly contributed to the development of Vietnam’s forestry.
Vietnam’s woodwork export turnover surged to US$2.6 billion in 2009 from only US$219 million in 2000. The figure is expected to rise to US$3.1 billion in 2010.
Vietnam is now ASEAN’s second biggest woodwork exporter.
The festival will be held by the Vietnam Timber and Forestry Product Association and the Bình Định People’s Committee. This will become a regular national event. (VGP)
