The North Central region high-tech forestry zone was established by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 509/QD-TTg dated March 31, 2021 with an area of 618 hectares in Nghi Loc and Do Luong districts.
This is the first high-tech forestry zone in the country with the expected goal of being a pioneer in the development of modern forestry, producing high-quality wood and non-wood forest products according to the value chain.

In case of no additional staff, the civil servant staff will be taken from the total number of civil servants in the departments, branches and units of the province.
