The study tour lasted for 3 days from February 27th<\/sup> , 2020 to February 29th<\/sup> , 2020 including travelling time. During the first working session, the representatives of TTH-FOSDA introduced the theoretical basis as well as practical experiences and challenges that TTH-FOSDA was facing during establishment process of sustainable forestry cooperatives and implementing FSC in Thua Thien Hue province. On the second day, the delegation spent whole day visiting the field of large timber plantations applying FSC forest management system at the Association\u2019s branches of Hong Tien Bach Ton, Cham and Hoa Loc sustainable forestry cooperative. The delegation was shared and interacted directly with the Associations and the Cooperative and understood about specific technical issues in planting such as timing and frequency of trimming, selling products as well as other requirements on the sustainable forestry cooperatives and FSC standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a meaningful study visit for me, I personally see big acacia trees which have been maintained for a long rotation. Through working with the Thua Thien Hue FOSDA and exchanging directly with representatives of Sustainable Forestry Cooperatives and their branches, I know what it is like to grow large timber FSC certified forests and the economic value of large timber plantations would bring about. I will advocate this model to local women and people about economic benefit of long rotation, FSC certified acacia plantation compared to short rotation and un-certified acacia one\u201d.<\/em> Said Ms. Ho Thi Bien \u2013 Chairwoman of the Women’s Union, Kim Thuy Commune.<\/p>\n

In addition, this was the opportunity for exchanging information, Q&A session that relating to the FSC and the establishment of the sustainable forestry cooperatives.
