China, Japan and the Republic of Korea have historically been the traditional markets for the province’s wooden handicrafts, making up a huge proportion of the sector’s total exports. However, local exporters have shifted their focus to new markets including the US and Europe.

Nguyen Thanh Nhan, owner of a timber-based product manufacturer in Trang Bom district, said that his manufacturer had already received orders for the first quarter that has seen an increase in both volume and value. In the coming time, many businesses in timber craft villages will also switch their focus to the increasing domestic market.
