Promoting the advantages of large timber plantation

(Baonghean) - Effectively promoting the advantages of forests and forest land to develop forestry economy into a sustainable profession for people in many localities in Nghe An. Besides promoting the linkage to develop raw material areas with processing enterprises, expanding the forest area for large timber business brings high economic value.

Many difficulties in growing large timber forests

(Baonghean) - Planting large timber forests not only brings higher economic benefits to households, but also helps reduce erosion, contributing to environmental protection and combating climate change. The effectiveness of large timber forests compared to small timber forests has been confirmed, but this type of forest has not yet developed commensurate with its advantages in Nghe An.
