Of the figure, nearly 5 billion USD came from wood furniture, up nearly 57 percent this year.

Domestic producers have adapted well to the “new normal” by stepping up digital trade meetings with foreign buyers in order to boost sales, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Ha Cong Tuan.

There is plenty of room for the global wood and furniture market to grow, said Bui Chinh Nghia, vice director of the Vietnam Forestry Administration under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development adding that Vietnam now makes up 9 percent of the global market.
