Vietnam is expected to become one of the world’s largest wood production centers over the next 10-15 years and is already making a major impression in Canada from the CPTPP.
Figures from the General Department of Vietnam Customs show that export turnover from Vietnam to members of the CPTPP (the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) in the first seven months of 2022 stood at $31.47 billion, an increase of 21.43 per cent year-on-year and accounting for 14.48 per cent of Vietnam’s total export turnover. It is forecast that Canada, Australia, Malaysia, and Brunei will join Japan as markets of potential for Vietnam.
