The Sojitz Corporation has been operating in Vietnam for many years as a manufacturer and exporter of wood chips. The Vietnam Forestry Corporation (Vinafor) and Sojitz have established four wood chip manufacturing joint ventures (Vijachip) based in Quang Ninh, Ha Tinh, Quang Ngai provinces and the city of Da Nang. Vijachip joint ventures have developed in a sustainable manner, not only bringing economic benefits but also contributing to social security and environmental protection. However,  the Dung Quat wood chip manufacturing joint venture established by Vinafor and Sojitz is facing some problems and is seeking support from the CMSC.

Mr. Tadahiro Kinoshita added that the Sojitz Corporation is also interested in infrastructure development projects related to companies operating under the management of the CMSC.
