Organization
Hiep Thuan Cooperative
Participant in WWF’s Forests Forward programme since March 2025.
Over the next five years, the Cooperative will prioritize afforestation and the processing of FSC-certified plantation wood. By developing a robust production chain, the goal is to enhance the value of plantation forests, thereby boosting income for local communities and generating profits for the Cooperative. In 2020, Hiep Thuan Agricultural Cooperative invested in a pellet production line, but the project was stalled due to challenges in securing a reliable machinery supplier. Moving forward, the Cooperative will focus its efforts and seek funding to complete the pellet production line, fully utilizing raw materials from plantation forests to drive greater profitability for the community.
