The Wood Pellet Association was established in October 2022 with more than 100 registered members after a year of its formation. We are very pleased to be ranked 4th among Vietnam’s eight major wood product groups in export value.

We have made continuing efforts in understanding the dynamics and requirements from export markets. The Association plays an important role in stabilizing market prices and in the sustainability of forest management. This will profoundly affect the development of the Vietnamese market in the long term and help strengthen competition with other wood pellet producing and exporting countries in the region and the world. The elected Executive Committee are the top 4 wood pellet exporters who have earned the trust and respect of the members and have responsibility for strengthening the network between manufacturers, exporters, traders, and final consumption within Vietnam and internationally.
