- The results of the 5th Census in Vietnam show that on April 1, 2019, the total population of Vietnam reached 96,208,984 people According to the portal of the Ministry of Labor, the population of urban areas in 2019 in Vietnam is 33,059,735 people, accounting for 34.4%; in rural areas is 63,149,249 people, accounting for 65.6% → This is an essenttial factor for the development of the dairy industry in our country and the fact shows that this great potential has a great influence on the annual increase in milk consumption by up to 30%, which is strongly concentrated in urban areas At the same time, living standards are increasingly improved, this also creates opportunities for dairy businesses in the market with great potential and developing like Vietnam 1.1.2 Age structure Picture 1: Chart of population composition by age (Source: Asian Demographics www.asiandemographics.com) Population data by age (estimate): - 23,942,527 adolescents under 15 years old (12,536,210 boys / 11,406,317 girls) - 65,823,656 people aged 15 to 64 years (32,850,534 men / 32,974,072 women) - 5,262,699 people over 64 years old (2,016,513 men / 3,245,236 women) → Large population, high birth rate, gradually improving income, increasing material life, health issues are increasingly concerned The campaigns to drink and distribute free milk of dairy companies all contribute to promoting, expanding brand awareness and creating a potential market for the Vietnamese dairy industry in general and for Vinamilk in particular 1.2 Economic environment According to the forecast of the National Center for Socio-economic Information and Forecast (NCIF), the Ministry of Planning and Investment, on the basis of assessing Vietnam's economic background after the 2016-2020 period, considering the Domestic and foreign factors are likely to affect Vietnam's economy in the coming period, NCIF forecasts that in the period of 2021 - 2025, Vietnam's GDP growth rate will reach about 7%/year economy is basically stable, inflation is at 3.5 - 4.5%/year Labor productivity improved with an increase of about 6.3%/year With this growth result, by 2025, Vietnam's GDP per capita will reach about 4,688 USD, bringing Vietnam into the group of high-middle-income countries → In general, people's living standards have been relatively improved and increased The upward trend in average income will not only create a higher purchasing power in the market but also lead to different needs and wants from consumers They may demand more or are willing to increase their spending for factors such as quality, variety, convenience, aesthetics, etc In addition, another trend is the distribution of income Many divisions among the population is also an issue that the company needs to pay attention to 1.3 Cultural environment The 4.0 era brings easy access to information through newspapers, social networks, the internet contributing to increasing human demand, Vinamilk took advantage of this opportunity to offer advertisements that target customers' psychology, habits of using sweet products as well as canned products or milkrelated products This makes marketing and advertising activities and product distribution to customers more convenient At the same time, one of the psychological habits of Vietnamese people is that they tend to be less likely to change their choices when they trust a certain brand, so it's easier for Vinamilk to increase sales and have more loyal customers If quality, brand image, high reputation In addition, Vinamilk's advertisements always emphasize the formation of a healthy lifestyle, comprehensive development of the body and mind of Vietnamese people as a strength 1.4 Political environment The stable political situation of Vietnam is decisive in economic development, creating jobs, increasing incomes for workers, and increasing consumption demand of the society This also has a positive impact on the creation 10 More than five million people have diabetes and 300.000 children under years old are obese in Viet Nam In this group of diseases for the need for milk, they prioritize milk without sugar, skimmed and calcium-rich milks  Group 2: People with malnutrition, rickets Viet Nam has 1.8 million malnourished children under years old Children from poor households carry the risk of malnutrition three times as much as children from better-off households The Central Highlands and the Northern Mountains where have many ethnic minorities are the highest proportions Among these ethnic minority groups, the Mong had the highest rate (65%) (UNICEF VIETNAM) People with malnutrition and rickets always need to add more nutrients to the body, milk is an indispensable part of the menu However, most children in rural and mountainous areas with malnutrition not have the conditions to drink milk TARGETING: Because milk or dairy products are indispensable in the menu of malnourished people, most Vinamilk’s products are for malnourished people and rickets SUMMARY: Vinamilk is using differentiated marketing They choose to sell many segments They are increasingly diversifying their products to suit a variety of customer segments Vinamilk develops their milk and dairy products in order to reach a large number of customers, while also expanding to other products (soft drinks, ice cream) Positioning To make a difference from other brands' dairy products, Vinamilk always focuses on product quality, sells products at reasonable prices and customer is center For Vinamilk, only good quality products help a brand retain

with 505 "Vietnamese Dream Milk" stores to nearly 251,000 retail points and supermarkets and convenience stores across the country Thanks to many retail points, direct shipping to the retail store will shorten the time and cost of transportation so that the product will reach the consumer at the lowest price but with the highest quality  Image differentiation: The next difference comes from images that are extremely familiar to Vietnamese people Those are dairy cows raised with modern technology, in a clean environment The image of a happy dairy cow on a green meadow with children has been deeply imprinted in the minds of Vietnamese consumers, especially children  People differentiation: Vinamilk meets the legitimate needs of consumers who need the advice of nutritionists to get

Netherlands 22 1.3 Branding Choosing a brand name and image for the company has an important meaning for the success of Vinamilk.More than 30 years of developing, some goods such as Ong Tho condensed milk, Dielac, Vinamilk yogurt are prevalent brand “Vina” in the word Vinamilk means Viet Nam-country of origin This name creates a sense of friendliness and is easy to remember Besides, Vinamilk’s images are associated with green grasslands ,sunny fields and funny cows 1.4 Packaging Packaging contributes to buying decisions so the company has focused on designing the catchy package with necessary information on the labels (ingredients, instructions, expiration date) Besides, the capacity of each product’s type is also diversified to easily meet different using purposes of consumers In the environmental perspective, Vinamilk has developed packages that are environmentally friendly by using paper boxes, supplied by Tetra Pak, for entire liquid dairy products and beverages The systems for packaging pasteurized dairy products ensure the three main objectives of the packaging process as: guaranteeing product quality, eliminating wastage, and lowering distribution costs 1.5 Product support services Vinamilk provides an official website to interact with customers Customers have handy access to get the information such as the amount of nutrients in each product Recently, its distribution network entitled “Vietnamese Dairy Dream” reached the threshold of 500 stores in all 63 provinces and cities The retail website www.giacmosuaviet.com.vn is also proving to be effective, especially during the social distancing period 23 1.6 Product life-cycle From 1976 - the year of being founded, Vinamilk has spent many landmarks from the beginning for maturation and development like today Recently, it can be seen that Vinamilk is in the maturity stage According to Vinamilk’s financial report, growth remains stable in the first quarter of 2021 In the last quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, Vinamilk’s revenue respectively was more than 2,6 thousand billions vnd and about 3,15 thousand billions vnd Price Because of the difficulties of economy in recent years, Vinamilk has to face many challenges to adjust its pricing strategies properly 2.1.Pricing method Nowadays there are many businesses in the same market segments so competitive prices affect a lot on selling product of Vinamilk Therefore, Vinamilk has taken competitive-based pricing methods Vinamilk focuses on producing high quality goods but still sets its products at competitive prices In that sense, the pricing strategies of Vinamilk are not only ensuring the profit, but also maintaining the purchasing ability of consumers The company owns dairy factories with large capacity, advanced technology, fully automatic can which make costs reduce significantly and ensure the product quality Besides, the company’s long experience in the industry contributes to cheap material costs and leads to competitive prices of the product These are prices of some products: Table 7: Prices of some products Product: 100% fresh Sure Prevent Vinamilk Fruit Optimum Gold milk Gold (powdered Yogurt (powerdered milk for (liquid milk for elder) 24 baby) milk) VND Price: 30.000 for a loc of boxes VND 244.000 for 400gram/tin can VND 28.000 for VND 213.000 for a loc of boxes 400gram/tin can Besides product lines of yoghurt and condensed milk, which overwhelm the market, the others face the drastic competition with other domestic dairy producers In that circumstance, pricing is one of the crucial strengths of Vinamilk to compete with its rivals Compared to its competitors’, there is no huge difference, especially in the liquid milk sector For example, Vinamilk’s price of a 1-liter fresh milk box is about 30 500 VND, while the same product type of other companies (TH True Milk, Lothamilk, or Dutch Lady) range from 27 600 - 34 000 VND 2.2 Price strategy 2.2.1 New product pricing strategy When publishing new products to the market, Vinamilk chooses marketpenetration pricing In order to make sure new products adapt to customers quickly and deeply, Vinamilk set a low initial price VNM Green farm is the newest liquid milk product and its price is 32,340 VND for a lot of boxes With this affordable price,Green farm has quickly consumed and become family’s favourable product 2.2.2 Product mix pricing strategy  Product line pricing: Vinamilk focuses on developing their product lines and sets the price steps between some various products in a line This helps customers make suitable choices that fit their demands In the powdered milk line, Vinamilk offered Dielac Grow Plus and an upgraded version of it- Grow Plus with Bird’s nest and we can see a price step between them  Product bundle pricing: Vinamilk combines some products with other products and offers this bundle at a reduced price to encourage purchases of consumers Vinamilk sells combo of for Ridielac cereal with different flavors 25 2.3 Price-adjustment strategy  Psychological pricing: Vinamilk is using the “The more you spend, the more you get” strategy The company usually upgrades their goods which contain more nutritious than the original one and specialized for some specific target consumers When existing products have a high value to be positioned in the minds of consumers, the new version of them will completely succeed For example: Dielac Grow Plus with Bird’s nest is an upgraded version of Dielac Grow Plus With more nutrients from bird nests, customers would not hesitate to spend a little bit more to get the better product  Maintaining stable price: Vinamilk had participated in the commitment of stabilizing prices for some products (liquid milk, powdered milk for children, elders, and patients) from April 2012 Due to the increase of world’s materials, many dairy firms set their prices 7-15% higher Nevertheless, after one year maintaining stable prices in trials, Vinamilk was forced to increase the sales prices of some product groups  Promotional pricing: With the aim of increasing short-run sales, Vinamilk temporarily set their price lower than before to promote customer’s purchases On e-commerce website, many products are usually discounted from 5% Place During the past few years, the distribution network of Vinamilk has proceeded to be consolidated and emphatically grown in both domestic and worldwide markets 3.1 Supply chains and the value delivery network  Structure diagram in distribution 26 Picture 4: Vinamilk’s

offline channel, Vinamilk directly distributes to their business partners who use Vinamilk’s products to make theirs Condensed milk,liquid milk are usually distributed in this way Some partners of Vinamilk can be mentioned are Viva star coffee, Gem center,Callary,etc  Indirect channel: VNM’s indirect channel also includes online and offline channels - For online channel, the company cooperated with companies that manage selling websites to bring Vinamilk’s goods available on Shopee, Lazada, Sendo, - For offline channel, it is divided into two types: modern distribution channel and traditional distribution channel  Traditional distribution channel: The majority of Vinamilk’s total revenue comes from selling through traditional channel In this way, distributors get the products from factories and share out with resellers The biggest advantage of it is the number of members in the system and the cheaper price compared with modern distribution channel 27  Modern distribution channel: Vinamilk has 7.800 modern channels they are supermarket, hypermarket, minimarts, which directly order from representatives of Vinamilk branch This distribution channel is easier to approach consumers but its obstacle is the weak ability to access rural customers 3.2 Distribution channel management  System management: Using ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system which is a tool used to support agencies and allow them to connect to Vinamilk distribution network By that, Vinamilk can collect and manage agencies' business information Implementing Oracle Business Suit which includes applications related to finance, distribution network and product producing management of the system It helps the company to reinforce its transparency  Policy for agents: Vinamilk always gives preferential treatment and applies discount rates for agencies based on the quantity of imported goods and agents’ monthly revenue Promotion 4.1 Promotion strategy Vinamilk uses push - pull strategy In push marketing, VNM’s goal is to bring the brand and products to customers Firstly, they offer discounts to resellers in many ways to encourage sales Secondly, VNM has qualified and trained sale-staffs that are trouble-free to reach and sell products to consumers In pull strategy, VNM promotes brand recognition with customer engagement and visibility and the customers themselves find and purchase the product 4.2 Promotion mix  Advertising: Although Vinamilk has appeared in the market since 1976 and is known by the majority of people, the company does not hesitate to spend nearly billion VND a day for advertising In the first three quarters of 2017,for every billion VND spent on advertising and research every day,Vinamilk earns 128 billion VND in revenue 28 Picture 5: Chart of advertising cost and company's revenue By multichannel marketing, Vinamilk can communicate with a large number of people concurrently Vinamilk’s images are pervasive on mass media such as television, web pages, posters, etc Specially, their advertisements are renewed and developed regularly so they can bring new messages and satisfy the audience Vinamilk decided to develop attractive, family-oriented video content using 3H strategy – “Hero, Hub, Help” – a new approach Hero: directing consumers attention by capturing trendy content Vinamilk prioritizes investment and creates videos that capture music trends with appearances of actors Huynh Lap and Thu Trang, Lam Vy Da,etc Hub: Branding based on basic content to increase consumer interest Vinamilk has developed video series such as video series of children’s songs and the “Clean Farm” series It created funny ads that attract kids and those ads gradually present during the meal and entertainment time of Vietnamese children Help: Educational content, help with related knowledge Vinamilk also develops on making content that present tips for adults For instance,VNM made an instruction video of making avocado ice cream and through that video,the company concurrently popularize Ong Tho condensed milk - one of ingredients to make avocado ice cream  Sale promotions: Vinamilk has also applied many promotions with different forms such as: discounts, incentives for customers who are members of Vinamilk, gift exchange when collecting many gift stamps, giving 15% of the volume but the price remains the same In aditional, Vinamilk offers weekly flash sale for online purchases on their e-commerce website 29  Personal selling: In order to increase sales and build customer relationships, Vinamilk has chosen staff who have good communication skills and understand customer’s psychology  Public relation: Vinamilk always builds good relations and obtains favorable publicity, building up a good corporate image V RECOMMENTDATION Product - Product diversification: Vinamilk offers over 200 goods in many categories, such as condensed milk, powdered milk, nutritious powder, fresh milk, ice cream, yogurt, cheese, beverage, sugar, and soymilk Therefore, Vinamilk should discontinue unpopular goods, focus on quality products, and improve product quality, such as fresh milk, yogurt, condensed milk, and powdered milk - Preservation: With the exception of expired items, transportation, preservation, weather, temperature, sunlight, and so on are all elements that have a significant influence on the product Therefore, it is important to overcome this disadvantage by sterilized packaging produced from food-safe materials in conjunction with sterilization technologies, carefully managing the transportation process while traveling long distances, etc - Product packaging and display: Currently, Vinamilk has a very large distribution network, making it very easy for consumers to find products, but they themselves wish to reach a higher degree of eye-catching display, packaging variances amongst dairy products - New product: Producing high-end quality products that specialized for some features of people For example, powdered milk for obese kids, high-quality nutritional products for osteoporosis elderly The difference in these products is their prices are not following competitive-based pricing but value-based pricing The aim is to compete with high-end dairy products of foreign brands Proposed to 30 change from plastic straws to rice or paper straws with fast decomposition time, bringing innovation in line with a green lifestyle, protecting the environment Price Vinamilk should focus all of its resources to developing products with longterm competitive advantages in efforts to realise its aim of accepting as low a price as feasible in order to reach a huge market size Boost the number of dairy farms, support cow raising to increase domestic raw materials, and minimize reliance on imported raw materials, from that pricing to be adjusted in line with consumer earnings A price support strategy may be helpful in the short term, but it will have a long-term impact on finance Promotion Promote marketing campaigns even further or come up with fresh creative ideas to sell items and leave a lasting impact on customers With the complex condition of the COVID-19 epidemic, for example, "buying online" has become a popular trend As a result, Vinamilk needs to push the campaign for consumers to buy milk online, emphasizing on health concerns, the danger of disease transmission, and time savings, particularly social distance Implementing preferential policies such as purchasing big quantities of items, purchasing goods with presents, using promotion codes, etc Place - Urban: Residents have convenient, time-saving habits and require a high level of safety, so distribution on credible supermarkets and distribution channels, especially genuine online websites (for With the current situation of the COVID-19 epidemic, this place will consume very high products) - Rural: According to surveys, the majority of individuals in this area prefer to buy through traditional methods As a result, to successfully reach the rural market, a 31 distribution system at wholesale marketplaces or agents in important residential regions is required
