According to the planning orientation, promote scientific research, select and create new varieties with high productivity and quality, fast-growing native tree varieties with productivity and quality to serve the development of production forests and large timber forests. Ensure an average supply of 575 million trees/year.

Of which, the area of special-use forest land is 2.45 million hectares (accounting for 15.5%), protection forest land is 5.23 million hectares (accounting for 33%), production forest land is 8.16 million hectares (accounting for 51.5%). The forested land area is 14.7 million hectares, accounting for 92.7% of the forestry land area.
