Vietnam’s wood / wooden products news
Recent developments in wood and wooden products in Vietnam include:
Trade challenges
At a Ministry of Industry and Trade seminar in Hanoi, Industry representatives warned that some export sectors, including wood products, face a development “trap”, with rising volumes but weak margins and limited capital accumulation.
Trade experts also cautioned that exporters face stricter sustainability, environmental and supply-chain standards, while many firms remain slow to proactively use free trade agreements.
Wood manufacturer challenges
Delegates at the Vietnam Timber and Forest Products Association’s fifth congress have outlined major challenges facing wood manufacturers including rising input costs, falling selling prices, legal risks over material origins and supply-chain disruptions.
Speakers said craft villages also struggle with outdated designs and limited digital capacity, while the agriculture and environment ministry urged the association to help firms meet legal-timber standards, expand markets and build transparent, sustainable supply chains.
