📋 Tender Overview
Following the vision of the Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy, Vietnams forestry industry is facing a great opportunity to escape the safe growth area of 5% and reaching a two -digit growth rate. Forests are not only a wood source but also a multi -value natural resource - environmental protection, ecological maintenance and anti -climate change - Photo: VGP/Do Huong to look for the future for the forestry industry as one of the three pillars of the agricultural sector, besides livestock and aquaculture, not only are sustainable development orientation but also multi -purpose, maximize the potential to contribute to the economy, to prevent the economic and change the economy with the economic change with the economy - The post -head of Do Duc Duy emphasized: Forest is not only a source of wood but also a multi -value natural resource - environmental protection, ecological maintenance and anti -climate change. With a forestry planning area of 15.8 million hectares, of which 14.8 million hectares have forests (accounting for 93%) and nearly 8 million hectares are production forests, the forestry industry is significantly developed. Production value increased by 4.7%/year in recent years, along with exporting, accounting for 60% of trade surplus nationwide, showing that the industry has achieved many important achievements. However, the Minister pointed out that this potential has not been properly exploited due to institutional limitations, investment and application of technology.The generations of industry leaders have built a detailed legal system, effective production organization and gradually turning forestry into a key economic sector. However, there are still many challenges: the policy has not been synchronized, the transport infrastructure for weak forest management, investment from the central to local levels is not satisfactory, and the application of science and technology is still slow. The situation of overlapping forest owners - with nearly 1.2 million forest owners, of which 2,000 forest owners accounted for 50% of the area - and the conflict between economic development and forest cover protection, which are barriers to be resolved. The Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Quoc Tri pointed out that forestry planning is often adjusted by other plannings such as traffic, infrastructure, economy, causing difficulties in management. The system of forest support policies is still scattered and easy to overlap. To overcome, the industry has promoted decentralization and decentralization for the locality, creating flexibility in implementation. However, the issue of high quality human resources and weak infrastructure still need to be strongly invested to meet the requirements of modern development. Tran Quang Bao, Director of Forestry and Forest Protection Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment proposed additional revenue from forest environmental services (about VND 3,000 billion/year) to the production value of the industry, in order to fully reflect the contribution of forestry to the socio -economic. This is an important resource to reinvest, improve the quality of forest and support the community to live near the forest. Sustainable forest production helps the wood industry grow outstanding - Photo: VGP/Do Huong4 The key task group of Vietnam forestry forestry is transformed from the safe growth area to the sustainable breakthrough period. With a multi -purpose strategy, technology application and institutional perfection. To bring the forestry industry to break through, Minister Do Duc Duy oriented development in the direction of multi -value, multi -goal. Forestry is not only economical but also associated with environmental protection, ecological conservation and sustainable development, he emphasized. This strategy focuses on the main task groups: the first is to improve institutions and policies. Minister Do Duc Duy requested to review and complete legal documents, overlap between forest management and fields such as land, biodiversity conservation. In 2024, the Ministry advised the Government to issue many decrees to remove difficulties for the locality, especially in changing the purpose of forest use. The simplification of administrative procedures and strengthening coordination with industries and localities will create a support mechanism for people to feel secure to live near the forest. The second is the restructuring of the industry and technology application. Sustainable forestry development requires changes in production methods and improving forest quality. The Minister directed to promote the application of science and technology in forest management, protection and disaster response. The issuance of the planting area has been piloted in 10 provinces in 2024, bringing positive signals. This is the premise to build a system of planting forest databases and traceability nationwide, increasing transparency and export value. Third is the diverse economic development from forests. In addition to exploiting timber, Minister Do Duc Duy encourages the development of economic models under forest canopy, eco -tourism and conservation. The Minister emphasized the role of Carbon credit - a valuable resource of Vietnam - as an international negotiation tool in the future. Carbon credits will soon become a competitive advantage of the forestry industry, he predicted. At the same time, propagating and training community about the multi -value role of the forest will change awareness, encourage people to participate in sustainable forest protection and development. Finally, invest and develop source.human resources. Regarding this content, Deputy Minister Nguyen Quoc Tri acknowledged the capital for forest development is still unsustainable due to long production cycles and many risks. Projects on natural forest protection, forest quality improvement and biodiversity conservation require large costs but not clear short -term eco
