There is a need to make comprehensive adjustments for the orientation of the forestry sector development in order to meet the needs of renovation and the trends of international economic integration, thereby creating conditions for the mobilization of more domestic and foreign resources for sectoral development investments. Only with full awareness and consistent action concerning the role, position and the needs of the sector, then could forestry have the conditions to develop rapidly, strongly, and contribute to the industrialization, modernization of rural agriculture, hunger eradication, poverty reduction for people in the mountainous areas, environmental protection, and basically to lead our country to become an industrial nation with modern trends by the year 2020, as stated in the 10th Congress resolution. Due to the above-mentioned reasons, a National Forestry Strategy for the period 2006 – 2020 is needed, as a basis for orientation of the long-term sector development. This strategy has built upon the previous Forestry Development Strategy, period 2001 – 2010, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), and the framework of the Forest Sector Support Program (FSSP), and added new viewpoints and orientations to meet the requirements for renovation, international economic integration and sustainable development.
