Central Plans and Global Exports: Tracking Vietnam’s Forestry Commodity Chains and Export Links to China

2005-01-01

A collaboration paper with Forest Trends (http://www.forest-trends.org), Center for International Forestry Research (http://www.cifor.cgiar.org), and The York Centre for Asian Research (YCAR) (http://www.yorku.ca/ycar/). The links between growing Chinese imports of wood products and impacts on ‘producer countries’ in Southeast Asia can be overstated. In general, from the available information, Chinese demand does not appear to play a leading role in impacting Vietnam’s forestry situation, although information on the illegal trade in logs and sawntimber, either originating in Vietnam or transiting through Vietnam from Laos and Cambodia, remains sparse.
