HCMC – The central province of Binh Dinh will organize the first forestry festival in Quy Nhon City from March 26 to 29 to create a venue for stakeholders to propose ways to develop the sector.
Le Huu Loc, deputy chairman of the province, said at the press conference in HCMC early this week that the event would be a convergence point for scientists, enterprises and managers to suggest solutions for forestry development from planting to processing and consumption.
This is a joint effort of the province, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the provincial Forestry Association.
The province, Loc said, would also take the occasion to honor contributors to forestry development and promote business links between local exporters and international buyers, probably from North America, Western Europe, Russia, Japan, China and Thailand.
The festival will feature a showcase of forestry products at 700 stands of 400 local and international businesses.
Binh Dinh – which belongs to the central focal economic zone, about 670 kilometers northeast of HCMC and 1,065 kilometers southeast of Hanoi – has 150 wood processors, most of them exporters, with annual output of 150,000 cubic meters of refined woodwork and more than 300,000 cubic meters of chip wood.
Last year, Binh Dinh exports US$250 million worth of wooden goods, 60% of the province’s total export revenue.
