In Brand Finance’s latest Food & Drink 2021 report, Vinamilk was ranked eighth in the world’s top 10 most valuable dairy brands with a brand value of 2.4 billion USD, up 12 percent compared to 2020.
In addition, Vietnam’s largest dairy firm is listed as one of the three most potential dairy brands with the second-highest score.
Out of the dairy industry, Vinamilk also appeared in the two global rankings of the food industry, including the “Top 5 strongest global food brands” and “Top 30 of the 100 most valuable food brands worldwide”, placing 27th position, up 9 notches over 2020.
According to experts in the food and beverage industry, Vinamilk’s appearance in global rankings has demonstrated its strong sustainable development strategy, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world economy to a halt, affecting supply chains and making consumers tighten their purse strings.
According to Tran Thanh Hai, deputy director of Import-Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, dairy products are not Vietnam's advantageous export commodity nor traditional agricultural product, but with active contribution and efforts of Vinamilk, Vietnam increased its export value.
“In addition to ensuring export product quality, building a business brand which also represents the country is very important, ꧟showing the development of an enterprise as well as Vietnam’s dairy industry,” Hai said.
