Nation leads in wood chip exports

Viet Nam has become the largest woodchip exporter in the world with a volume of 5.4 million tonnes, up 5 million tonnes against 2001, said the Viet Nam Pulp and Paper Association.

The expansion of pulp production in China is attributed to the remarkable increase in the number of hardwood plantations and woodchip processing plants in Viet Nam.However, woodchip exports are not considered a target of the paper industry because its value is much lower than that of pulp and paper materials.
