Accordingly, under the agreement reached at the launch in Ho Chi Minh City, timber enterprises commit to strictly complying with the regulations in ensuring activities in import, export, exploitation, transportation, trading and processing of wood.

At the same time, they will work together to boost linkage and the development of a responsible market for wood use with transparency, and conversion of imported tropical wood input into domestic plantation timber.

For the effective implementation of the agreement, each association has committed to developing their action plans under a specific roadmap, while allocating enough resources to effectively realize their commitments.

The Fund is under the process of calling for contributions and will be officially launched on December 1, during the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the forestry sector./.
