HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): The novel coronavirus has finally caught up with Vietnamese wood exporters, who have reported robust growth during the first half of 2021.

According to the country's General Department of Customs, Vietnamese firms exported just shy of US$9.6 billion worth of timber and wood products in the first seven months of 2021, a 55 per cent increase year-on-year, an impressive feat during a global pandemic.
