Vietnam's export of timber and wood products has decreased due to the impact of high inflation in the export market.

The General Department of Customs said Vietnam's export value of timber and wood products in June fell by 4.9% on-year to 1.5 billion USD.

In the first six months, the export value of timber and wood products picked up 2.8% on-year to 8.5 billion USD. But the export value of wood products plunged by 4.6% on-year to 6 billion USD.

Wooden furniture was the key export item in the structure of export timber and wood products in the first five months of this year. However, the export value decreased due to slowing global demand.
