WWF, in partnership with The Vietnam Timber and Forest Product Association (ViFores) and Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, will launch The Vietnam Forest & Trade Network (VFTN), the first ever network to promote business links between producers of responsible forest products in Vietnam and concerned buyers around the world.
VFTN is a chapter of the Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN), WWF's worldwide initiative to eliminate illegal logging and improve the management of valuable and threatened forests. Vietnam is the 24th FTN to join this network, which is active in nearly 30 consumer and producer nations.
