Summary of displacement, leakage, and wood regrowth in Vietnam's forests, 1987–2006
| Parameter | Total (M m3) | Percentage of total regrowth | Percentage of displacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total regrowth (unharvested increment in growing stock) | 125.4 | 100.0 | — |
| Of which: | |||
| Not discounted by displacement | 76.4 | 60.9 | — |
| Discounted by displacement | 49.0 | 39.1 | 100.0 |
| Separated into: | |||
| Policy-induced leakage | 28.4 | 22.7 | 58.0 |
| Demand-driven displacement | 20.6 | 16.4 | 42.0 |
| Corresponding to: | |||
| Exports | 41.3 | 32.9 | 84.3 |
| Consumed domestically | 7.7 | 6.1 | 15.7 |
| Separated into: | |||
| Illegal imports | 19.9 | 18.8 | 48.1 |
| Pulp, paper, and chips legal imports | 13.5 | 12.9 | 33.1 |
| Other legal imports | 8.0 | 7.4 | 18.8 |
All data in volume in forest (RWE volume × 1.2), except imports values (first column of the three last rows), which have to be multiplied by 1.2 to account for logging wastes, in order to obtain values of displacement. Illegal imports are mostly roundwood from natural forests. Pulp, paper and chips legal imports come mostly from plantations. Other legal imports are mostly other processed wood.
