FLEGT in Vietnam

 

 

Vietnam is the world’s fourth-largest exporter of wood products, although the industry relies on import for about 80% of its timber. This raises concerns for a FLEGT/VPA, as much of the timber imported into Vietnam comes from places where it is not always possible to establish the legality of the source.

 

The majority of Vietnam’s wooden furniture exports are destined for the USA, the EU and Japan, while Vietnam also exports wood chips (Vietnam became the world’s largest wood chip exporter in 2012) to China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.
