Although the export value of wood and wood products achieved good results in the first two months of 2025, in the coming time, this industry will still face many difficulties, as major export markets increasingly require strict control of wood origin, specifically: Ensuring legality, not causing deforestation, green production, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing prices of imported raw wood due to limited supply.
