Vietnam’s forestry policies have expanded the area of planted forests in order to meet the supply of raw materials for the timber processing industry. However, the diversity and volume of demand in the industry have also increased, and a shortage of raw materials can be assumed. For clarifying the correspondence of stakeholders, we explore changes in the resource supply behavior of forestry companies and procurement strategies of companies that manufacture lumber for glued laminated timber, medium density fiberboard (MDF) and wood pellets. Next, we discuss issues and future developments surrounding the supply and demand for timber from planted forests. According to a survey of Quang Tri Province, both industrial and on-farm tree planting play an important role in Vietnam’s wood industry. The origin of the supply has been categorized according to its purpose (products). On the other hand, with the declining supply of imported timber and natural forest timber, inquiries from sawmills and glued laminated timber factories for timber from planted forests have increased, and wood pellet manufacturers are facing competition for raw material procurement with MDF manufacturers, and the supply of timber from planted forests is becoming scarce. The key to the solution lies in improving the low productivity of current on-farm tree planting. To this end, forming farmer groups upon the acquisition of forest certification will help achieve economies of scale and bargaining power.

In the inland sandy areas along the central coast of Vietnam, there is a specific type of ecosystem that local people call a sand forest. Over time, despite many economic, political, and social upheavals, local people in some places still maintain these sand forests. In this study, we aimed to investigate the determinants and challenges of community sand forest management in coastal north central Vietnam. For this purpose, we explore insights regarding the changing roles of sand forests in community perception, community challenges, and the role of stakeholders in sand forest management. We then discuss policy implications for sustainable sand forest management. By applying focus group discussions, household surveys, and in-depth interviews, this study found that local people have used village conventions to manage the sand forest for hundreds of years because they have been aware of the role of the sand forest in daily life, especially the spiritual and environmental roles of the sand forest. However, sand forest management is confusing and inefficient due to the neglect of the role of traditional organizations. Along with this, local people face several challenges, such as conflicts over the use of sand forests, and a lack of recognition of the community’s legal rights to such forests. Based on these results, some policy implications are proposed, such as strengthening the participation of related stakeholders, and providing coordination between traditional organizations and local authorities in forest management and conflict management in forest use. It is necessary to promote the allocation of sand forests to local communities so that they have the legal rights to effectively manage and protect their forests and to obtain potential benefits in the future.

Đông Giang và Nam Giang là hai huyện miền núi nằm ở phía Tây Bắc của tỉnh Quảng Nam. Tại khu vực này, người dân địa phương đã ghi nhận sự xuất hiện của loài Mây nước mỡ trong tự nhiên. Mây nước mỡ là loài cây lâm sản ngoài gỗ, mang lại nguồn thu nhập cao và là nguồn nguyên liệu trong sản xuất đồ thủ công mỹ nghệ ở miền Trung Việt Nam để xuất khẩu ra thị trường thế giới. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm bổ sung kiến thức bản địa của người Cơ Tu về quản lý và phát triển bền vững loài Mây nước mỡ, đồng thời bảo tồn và phát huy tri thức địa phương để góp phần vào việc quản lý và phát triển bền vững loài Mây nước mỡ. Phương pháp điều tra phỏng vấn đã được áp dụng, kết hợp với việc điều tra đánh giá các mô hình rừng trồng Mây nước mỡ trực tiếp tại hiện trường. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy nhiều người Cơ Tu có kinh nghiệm trong việc nhận diện loài Mây nước mỡ. Họ nắm rõ đặc điểm hình thái, địa điểm phân bố, phương thức khai thác và kỹ thuật gây trồng phù hợp với điều kiện tự nhiên ở hai huyện Đông Giang và Nam Giang, tỉnh Quảng Nam.
