Vinamilk said it exported ten containers of plant-based milk to China in the early days of 2021 and five more containers of condensed milk will soon depart for the world’s largest market.

It is believed to be a good start for Viet Nam’s largest dairy producer this year.

Ten containers of high-quality plant-based milk – almond-flavoured soymilk and red bean-flavoured soymilk – have arrived in China and are available at local convenience stores while the State-owned corporation is ramping up production to deliver five containers of condensed milk before the Lunar New Year Festival.

In April last year, Vinamilk dispatched to China its first shipment of Ong Tho (Longevity) Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, which has been well-received in the neighbouring country.

Last week, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that Truong Tho Dairy Factory, a member of Vinamilk, was granted with codes for exporting to China sterilised milk, modified milk, sweetened condensed milk and other condensed milk products. It is the third factory of the firm licensed to do so to date.

Last year, Vinamilk exported more than US$240 million worth of products, up over 8 per cent from 2019. Its products are available in 56 countries and territories so far. — VNS
