📋 Tender Overview
In 2025, in the context of many changes, Vietnams forestry industry will maintain a positive growth momentum, continuing to affirm its role as a specific economic and technical sector in the fields of agriculture and environment. Download Forestry industry export value increases by 6.6% compared to 2024 - Photo: VGP/Do Huong Production value increases by about 5.8% According to information from the Department of Forestry and Forest Protection on December 29, the main targets of the forestry industry in 2025 all met and exceeded the set plan. The national forest coverage rate remains stable at 42.03%, ensuring the national strategic goal. The growth rate of forestry production value is estimated at 5.6-5.8%, equivalent to 103% of the plan, continuing to be in the group of industries with high growth rates in the agricultural sector. Forest protection and development has had many positive changes; Violations of forestry laws are curbed. Compared to 2024, the number of violations of legal regulations in the forestry sector decreased by 535 cases (down 13.8%), to 3,347 violations; The affected forest area decreased by 85 hectares (down 10.6%), to 801 hectares. The number of forest fires decreased by 52 cases (down 22%), to 236 cases with about 32.36 hectares of forest affected, down 67.3 hectares (down 9.97%). The application of science - technology, digital transformation, and SMART tools in patrolling and monitoring forests and biodiversity is widely deployed in more than 60 special-use and protection forest management boards, contributing to improving the efficiency of forest resource management. Forest development continues to receive attention and mobilize the participation of the entire society. The whole country has planted 284,646 hectares of forests, reaching 109.5% of the years plan, an increase of 10.1% compared to 2024, of which 7,424 hectares of protection forests, 9,768 hectares of special-use forests and 276,244 hectares of production forests have been planted. The area of forests with forest certification reached nearly 120,000 hectares (reaching 122% of the 2025 plan), bringing the total forest area with forest certification in the country to an estimated 730,000 hectares (reaching 146% of the target by the end of 2025 of 500,000 hectares of forests with sustainable management certification). Concentrated planted forests have also provided about 24.6 million m3 of raw wood for domestic and export production and business activities. Forest product export value continues to be the industrys bright spot, maintaining growth in the context of major markets tightening requirements on origin traceability and increasing trade barriers. Forest product export value is estimated at 18.3 - 18.5 billion USD, an increase of about 6.6% compared to 2024. Trade surplus is estimated at 14.87 billion USD, up 2.4% compared to 2024. Total revenue from various types of forest environmental services is estimated to be about 3,940 billion VND in 2025, reaching 119% of the plan. Provincial funds have spent PFES money in 2024 and advanced nearly 4,000 billion VND in 2025 to forest owners. Along with that, 14 key programs and projects that have been promulgated in the industry continue to achieve positive results, typically the Project to plant 1 billion trees in the 2021-2025 period has completed and exceeded more than 44% of the plan, making an important contribution to the goal of green growth and adaptation to climate change. The report also points out a number of limitations such as violations of regulations on forest protection and development that are still complicated, and cutting down Illegal forest destruction and exploitation, forest fires, forest encroachment, and resistance to officials on duty also occur. Investment in facilities, means, and equipment for forest management and protection, forest fire prevention and fighting, and investment in forestry infrastructure is still limited and does not meet practical requirements. The work of planting protective forests faces many difficulties due to the fragmented forest land fund, distributed in remote places, requiring high costs. Scattered planting reached about 108 million trees (reaching 90% of the plan). Orientation and key solutions in 2026 Entering 2026, the Department of Forestry and Forest Protection said the industry aims to maintain the forest coverage rate of about 42%, the growth rate of forestry production value reaches 5-5.5%, the export value of forest products reaches about 18.5 billion USD, along with many specific targets on afforestation, timber exploitation of planted forests and collection of forest environmental services. To implement these goals, the entire industry will focus on focus on synchronously implementing key solutions: perfecting institutions, policies and laws on forestry; Organize the effective implementation of industry strategies, planning, programs and projects; Strengthen forest protection, fire prevention and fighting, especially in key areas; promoting the application of science - technology, digital transformation and artificial intelligence in forest resource management. In addition, the industry continues to develop sustainable forests, improve the quality of forestry plant varieties, promote the planting of large timber forests, develop forest environmental services and the forest carbon market. Proactively cooperate internationally to mobilize and attract ODA and FDI capital through international programs and projects; Maintaining the growth momentum of the wood and forest products processing industry, enhancing trade promotion and building the Vietnamese Wood brand.
