Mr. Do Xuan Lap, Chairman of Vietnam Timber and Forest Products Association: Many advantages if investing in wood processing in Binh Dinh
Regarding wood processing, investment in Binh Dinh is a good opportunity for Japanese investors. Firstly, Binh Dinh is an area of abundant timber material from planted forests. Besides, Binh Dinh is the gateway connecting the South Central Coast and the Central Highlands provinces, having more raw material areas outside the province becomes a competitive advantage in attracting investment in this field.
In particular, we know that the furniture that the Japanese side is importing from Vietnam is furniture from planted forest wood, most of which is rubber wood. And of course, the Central Highlands is a large rubber development area, so it is appropriate to invest in Binh Dinh to use the rubber wood material area from the Central Highlands.
The wood industry is the key industry of Binh Dinh province, so investing in the wood industry here, Japanese enterprises will receive support from the local government. With so many advantages, we are looking forward to Japanese enterprises to invest in this field.
