Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Administration of Forest launched the “Vietnam Wood” certification mark at a conference held in Hanoi on December 22, marking a major step in building a unified identity and strengthening the credibility of Vietnam’s wood industry in domestic and international markets.

Vietnam currently ranks fifth worldwide and second in Asia in wood and forestry product exports, with turnover reaching 17.35 billion USD in 2024 and projected at 18 billion USD in 2025. However, the lack of a national certification mark has limited brand recognition and value.

The “Vietnam Wood” mark, therefore, represents a strong commitment to legally sourced timber, high quality, and environmental and social responsibility, serving as a legal safeguard for Vietnamese products and enhancing business competitiveness.

After extensive preparation, the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam under the Ministry of Science and Technology granted the registration certificate for the “Vietnam Wood” mark to the Vietnam Forest Administration on October 17, 2025.

Tran Quang Bao, Director of the administration, said the mark is more than a logo, describing it as a platform to increase added value and unite enterprises under a shared national brand, helping forestry become a pillar of a multi-value economy.

At the conference, the Vietnam Administration of Forest presented the first licences to use the “Vietnam Wood” mark to seven exemplary enterprises that meet strict standards on quality and origin, including Woodsland JSC, Nhuan Phat New Materials Co., Ltd., Phu Tai Dong Nai One-Member Co., Ltd., Vina G7 JSC, Kim Thanh A Co., Ltd., Trieu Thai Son Co., Ltd., and Minh Long Group JSC.

Tran Le Hong, Vice Director of the Intellectual Property Office, noted that inadequate control of product standards can undermine the reputation of the entire market. He stressed that the “Vietnam Wood” certification mark will enable more unified and effective management, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Vietnam’s wood industry.

The certification mark, he added, embodies a collective commitment by authorities and enterprises to credibility, quality and sustainable growth of Vietnamese wood products in both domestic and global markets, Phong said./.
