Vietnam has planted close to 770 million trees between 2021 and 2023, exceeding the plan by 121%, according to Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). In the first three years of implementing the Prime Minister’s initiative on planting one billion trees in the 2021-2025 period, 344.5 million trees were planted in a scattered manner and the remainders in concentrated areas. The total capital mobilised to implement the initiative over the past three years came to nearly 9.5 trillion VND (387.83 million USD), of which 23.8% were sourced from State budget and the rest from the public and other sources. In the 2024-2025 phase, the goal is to grow 492 million more trees, including 98,210 hectares of newly planted forests equivalent to over 216 million trees. VNA Photo
