A publication about the impact of UKVFTA on sustainable development of Vi?t Nam’s wood industry on the website of the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) pointed out that the UKVFTA was creating huge opportunities for the Vietnamese wood processing industry to grow sustainably.

To help Vietnamese enterprises realise the advantages from the UKVFTA, the Vietnamese Government should develop policies to encourage investment in renovating technologies in line with global demand, developing brand building strategy to the UK market and providing clear instructions to implement the trade deal.

Improving enforcement of other policies such as VPA/FLEGT, promoting the expansion of certified forest and sustainable forest development would further facilitate the implementation of UKVFTA.
