Vietnam wood chip market: Link to promote development

BUSINESS LINKS
How to overcome the price downturn, Mr. Tran Le Huy, Binh Dinh Association of timber and forest products pose a common question for the wood chip industry in Vietnam, when enterprises lack solidarity, so the price pressure by China. The chips are available in South America and Australia, but their prices are still high, including shipping costs, and Vietnam's wood chip manufacturing companies need to do to increase prices and develop markets.

Firstly, as China understands and grasped the raw materials of Vietnam, and knows that small businesses with little capital, can not keep the goods to increase prices, so always squeezing wood chips forced businesses to sell for fear of losing the opportunity to other businesses.

At present, the quality of Vietnamese chip is lower than that of other countries due to poor quality control of glue chips. Therefore, quality control of raw materials should be strengthened from the time of exploitation. At the same time, certified wood, control wood is currently an obstacle for the macadam industry in Vietnam, to obtain FSC certification for Vietnamese enterprises is difficult because it will increase costs. too high.

As chip demand is decreasing as smartphone technology is growing, the chip industry is growing in the direction of increasing chip quality to produce high quality pulp. Foreign partners are demanding the quality of export shreds must increase. This is one of the problems that businesses need government support to growers do not harvest young forests to improve the quality of Vietnam.

Nguyen Nhu Xuan, deputy general director of VijaChip, said that the chip industry could reach US $ 1 billion in export turnover at the current level, while the majority of households are planting forest for raw materials. . And now the chip industry is using the timber used, the large wooden pieces with large diameter used as a plywood.

On the other hand, the three major export markets for Vietnamese wood chips are China, Japan and South Korea, which have geographic advantages, and Vietnam has the advantage of planting acacia and acacia. while supplies from Australia, Indonesia and Thailand are mainly eucalyptus chips. What is needed is to build a brand for the acacia chipwood industry in Vietnam, but one of the difficulties is that households are allocated a very small area of ​​land with only 0.5 ha of households. Growing big trees is difficult.

REMOVE DIFFICULTIES
According to Huynh Van Hanh, there is no conflict between wood chips and wood processing industry as the chip industry uses materials that can not be used by the wood processing industry. But there is a growing problem in the chipmaking business, and this has to be resolved as soon as possible, so that Vietnamese wood chips will not lose ground in the world market, as well as generate emissions. sustainable development.

Meanwhile, Nguyen Ton Quyen pointed out that there are very good linkages in Vietnam, such as Nam Dinh Joint Stock Company, which used 1 million m3 of raw material wood a year, thus linking with many households. Family. Wood Land also has partnerships with households, household support and product consumption to ensure quality supply as well as legality.

Sharing this opinion, Mr. Le Khac Coi, Vice Chairman of Vietnam Forests Association, said that the investment in wood chip industry is investment support for households. If the government levies taxes, it can not affect the price of wood chips, as the price of oil decreases, the price of new chips decreases and the competitiveness is greater, and the tax affects the price of buying raw materials from farmers. The taxation and price reduction of wood chips significantly affects the household.

Therefore, the core of the problem is that there are no macadam competition with the wood processing industry that only affects the afforestation households. Without the benefits of afforestation, people may not plant forests but do other jobs that may negatively impact society.
