VIETNAM, August 10 - BÌNH DƯƠNG – More than 100 Vietnamese and foreign firms are showcasing advanced wood processing technologies, machinery and raw materials at the 2022 Việt Nam BIFA Wood exhibition which opened in Bình Dương Province on Monday.

Its wood industry’s exports were worth over $6 billion, 43 per cent of the country's total.

Bình Dương is considered the capital of the country’s wood industry, he added.

Vietnamese wooden and furniture products are exported to more than 120 countries and territories.

It is the world’s fifth largest exporter and top in Southeast Asia.

Seminars on automation in the wood industry, and wood materials from the US and Europe will be held during the trade show.

Visitors will also have the chance to visit the most modern wood factories in the province.

It will create a forum for domestic and foreign enterprises to network and establish long-term co-operation to foster the development of Việt Nam’s timber sector. – VNS
