(HBO) - The National Agricultural Extension Centre together with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoa Binh province held a forum on August 5 to seek solutions to forestation providing material for wood export in the year.

discuss policies, guidelines and solutions in terms of forest development in

Forest growers at the event shared
experience in economic efficiency and difficulties in the implementation of forest
development models in the locality.

development supplying material for wood exports, such as to bolster links

certifications, improve seedlings and technology, and enhance forestation in
keeping with wood value chains and wood products./.
