Project: Optimising silvicultural management and productivity of high-quality acacia plantations, especially for sawlogs
July 14, 2014 by
Executive summary Vietnam imports 80% of its wood supply to service a growing export-focused furniture industry. The small-holder sector manages approximately half the total area of its plantation forests. A pre-project financial analysis had shown that there may be significant economic advantages for typical small-holders of sawlog over pulpwood production. We investigated the suitability of silvicultural systems that optimise the production of sawlogs from the most commonly planted … [Read more...]

Background Vietnam has a very large furniture production and export industry, with exports worth US$2.8 billion in 2008. Timber for this industry is to a large extent imported – at very substantial cost (US$854 million in 2009). Vietnam also has a very large plantation estate of acacias (300-400k ha) and eucalypts (500k ha). ACIAR has provided much support in establishing and improving this resource. The resource has been used largely for the production of low value pulpwood. Acacias and … [Read more...]
