FGM Workshop Background Paper - REDD - VietNam

Development”
• Establish the national permanent forest estate for three forest
types, mapping and boundary demarcation in field, manage
sustainably and effectively all stable production forest areas,
including 3.63 million ha of natural forests and 4.15 million ha of
plantation forests (including industrial raw material plantations, NTFP
and other plantation forests).
• All forests and forest lands are to be allocated, or leased, to forest
management entities before 2010.
• Establish and implement plans of forest management and capacity
building for forest owners, such as: forestry companies, cooperatives,
communities, and foreign fund- invested enterprises, etc.
• Stabilize wood production from natural forests, plantation forests and
scattered planted trees with timber production targets of 9.7 million
m 3 / year by 2010 and 20 - 24 million m 3 / year by 2020 (including 10
million m 3 large timber) and develop NTFPs to meet major demands
for domestic consumption and export.
• Provide small timber for pulp processing: 3.4 million m 3 /year by 2010,
and 8.3 million m 3 /year by 2020. Improve the productivity and quality
of plantation forests, with an average annual increment of
15 m 3 /ha based on the implementation of forest tree seed strategy
during period 2006-2020.
• Enrich 0.5 million ha of poor degraded forests contributing to
increase the quality of natural forests.
• Afforest 1.0 million ha of new forests by the year 2010 (of which, 0.75
million ha of production forest and 0.25 million ha of special-use
forest) and 1.5 million ha for the next phase, and harvested forest will
be replanted after logging operations at the rate of 0.3 million
ha/year.
• Annually plant 200 million scattered trees, equivalent to 100,000 ha
of plantation forests, to serve local demands of wood and fuel-wood
for home consumption.
• Undertake forest inventory periodically; consolidate and update
database of forest resources and related socio-economic aspects.
• 100% of production enterprises will develop, implement, monitor and
evaluate the forest management proposals (plans).
• At least 30% of production forest areas are to be issued with
certification on sustainable forest management by 2020.
• Invest in equipment to modernize forest management work.
