Vietnam Wood Species Inbound Mission to Maryland, Georgia & Louisiana

Vietnam has a thriving wood processing sector that is heavily import-dependent. In 2019, U.S. exports of forest products to Vietnam reached $350 million, and Vietnam was the third largest market in the world for U.S. hardwood exports. Despite the current downturn due to COVID-19, Vietnam’s wood processing industry in expected to continue to grow in the medium and long-term and offer more opportunities for U.S. logs and timber due to the shortage of domestic materials. U.S. softwood is still new to the Vietnam market, but its market share is also expected to grow as Vietnam expands its use of softwood in furniture and construction. SUSTA will be bringing key buyers from Vietnam to our Southern states to meet with our southern exporters specializing in Yellow Pine Logs.
