The reason for the increase
is that the forest area is up to the harvest period, so the unit has planted
new trees on the harvested areas to ensure supply for the market. Exploiting
timber and forest products ensures the maintenance and development of the forest.
Afforestation Yards carry out the full exploitation and thinning of large trees
to ensure the density of forest trees. Total wood production in the whole year
reached nearly 293,000m3, increasing nearly 5.4% over the same period.
The forestry sector is
continuing to focus on developing a number of projects and projects on forest
use and development such as: Project on forest and forestry land contract;
pilot project on afforestation model adapting to climate change; project on
pricing of forests for special-use, protection and production in the province.
