Held by Tavico Home Joint Stock Co as part of the TavicoHome Viefurn 365 Fair series, the upcoming event will comprise over 1,000 booths, spanning a total area of 20.000sq.m. 

It is described as a great opportunity for distributors, manufacturers and international partners to connect to create common benefits for the interior and exterior wood industry and wood products and facilitate consumption for the year-end period. 

Statistics from the General Department of Customs revealed that Viet Nam's exports of wood and wood products reached US$1.22 billion in November, down 4.8 per cent month-on-month, but up 3.4 per cent year-on-year.

However, over the past 11 months, wood and wood product exports brought home $12.1 billion, down 17.5 per cent over the same period last year. 

Decreases were seen in major export markets such as the US market with $6.6 billion, down 18 per cent, China ($1.55 billion, 22 per cent) and Japan ($1.52 billion, 12 per cent). 

The country’s exports of wood and wood goods will likely hit about $14.5 billion by the year-end, lower than the yearly target of $17 billion, according to the Handicraft and Wood Industry Association of Ho Chi Minh City.
