City forest protection officers visit an economic forestry plantation model in Yen Dinh Commune.

As of the end of October 2026, the city had harvested timber from 9,266 hectares of planted forests, producing nearly 1.49 million cubic metres of plantation timber. Of this, large-diameter timber accounted for 715,000 cubic metres, or 48% of the total.

Full-year timber output is estimated at 1.6 million cubic metres, equivalent to 123% of the annual target. Bac Ninh's forestry product export value is projected to reach 120 million USD, up 5 million USD from 2025.

The results are attributed to the Forest Protection Sub-department's efforts since the beginning of the year to direct and urge local authorities to focus on forest planting, care and protection.

The city has also promoted links between production and forestry product processing, while creating favourable conditions for organisations, individuals and businesses to invest in deeper processing for export markets.

Raw timber prices currently range from 1.8 million to 2.1 million VND per tonne, up 200,000-400,000 VND per tonne from the same period last year.

For each hectare of acacia forest grown over a five-year cycle, farmers can earn an estimated profit of around 100 million VND after deducting costs for seedlings, fertilisers, maintenance and harvesting.

Expanding forest planting and management in tandem with forestry processing is helping increase the economic value of forests, create jobs and improve incomes, particularly for residents in mountainous communes.
