2 Vinamilk’s business strategy activities
Regarding Vinamilk’s strategic business activities, this brand has focused on
developing and improving the following activities
2.1 Research and Development
Vinamilk’s research and product development team always updates the latest
knowledge about technology, as well as closely researches domestic and foreign
markets to find opportunities and ideas for product development
Example, the trend of using herbs derived from nature, good for health and beauty, is
the top choice of consumers Understanding that need, Vinamilk has launched a drink
Trang 5product from Ganoderma combined with honey filtered from natural essence, convenient for customers in health care
In addition, Vinamilk also develops natural beverage products such as apple juice combined with fresh aloe vera, soaked apricot juice that retains traditional Vietnamese flavors,
2.3 Human Resources management
To recruit suitable personnel, Vinamilk has linked with universities to find bright candidates Vinamilk is committed to cooperating with organizations that interview and recruit young people who wish to work at farm facilities after graduation for those studying to be veterinarians or livestock engineers Regarding the working environment, Vinamilk always respects and appreciates the contributions and opinions
Based on the Table 2.1: The Dos and Don'ts:
Effective Elements (Dos):
+ Be graphic: Vinamilk's future vision of becoming "a world grade brand in the food and beverage industry" signifies a brand that is reputable and recognized globally It means that the brand is not only present on the international market
5
Trang 6but is also considered a standard in its industry in terms of quality, innovation,
and reliability
+ Be forward-looking and directional: “Aiming to be "a world grade brand" and
“where people put all their trust in," targeting the international market and
positioning itself as a safe, reliable business where people feel secure in their
purchases and use, reflects the long-term goals and development of the
company
+ Memorable: The vision statement is succinct and clear, and
alongside, the ambition to "reach intemational stature" also
creates expectations and inspiration And the commitment to
gaining the consumers' complete trust makes users feel secure
and confident, leading to a lasting impression — Makes good
business sense
Shortcomings (Don’ts):
+ Be sure the journey is feasible: Vinamilk has only announced future decisions
but has not yet provided specific information about the feasibility of the vision
or the concrete steps the company will take to achieve its goals
2 Mission
To deliver the valuable nutrition to community with our respect, love and
responsibility
Vinamilk's mission statement also succinctly conveys the following ideas:
(1) Identifies the company’s products and/or services:
“valuable nutrition to the community” — nutritional food, not only milk
(2) Specifies the buyer needs that the company seeks to satisfy and the customer
groups or markets that it serves:
“with our respect, love and responsibility’ — Vinamilk is committed to
providing quality nutritional products while focusing on dedicated

Trang 7customer service, ensuring that every shopping experience is filled
with respect and responsibility We believe that customer needs
encompass not only product quality but also the shopping
experience
(3) Gives the company its own identity:
With points (1) and (2), Vinamilk has implicitly declared that it is not only a provider
of nutritional food but also a symbol of respect, love, and responsibility in all its
products and services, thereby establishing its unique identity as a trustworthy and
approachable brand for every customer
III) Set an objective
Based on the positive developments of the enterprise, with a 5.2% increase in net
profit in 2023, surpassing 9,000 billion, and regaining 2% domestic market share by
early November 2023, Vinamilk's objective for 2024 is to increase net profit by 11%,
rising from 9,000 billion to 9,990 billion, and to increase its market share in the dairy
industry to 47%
IV) Analysis
1 Macro environment
1.1 Political factors
Vinamilk is significantly impacted by Vietnam's political structure as well Vietnam
joined the WTO and ASEAN in 2007 and 1995, respectively Vinamilk is able to
lower production costs by building processing factories in nearby nations However,
Vinamilk will face even more severe competition and may lose its market share to
global brands
The "Vietnamese use Vietnamese products" campaign and the approval of programs
to raise Vietnam's average height by authorities in 2012 created an advantageous
environment for local companies like Vinamilk to compete against international
brands
Trang 8The government has also supported Vinamilk directly The National Institute of
Nutrition, Ministry of Education and Training, National Fund for Children of
Vietnam, and other governmental organizations have partnered with Vinamilk to carry
out social programs after politicians approved the company's plan to build a dairy
processing plant in Cambodia.To Vinamilk, it's also an opportunity to partner with
government agencies to carry out social responsibility campaigns and strengthen its
reputation as a conscientious company
The government offers tax incentives and preferential treatment for businesses
Investing in green technologies and environmentally friendly practices Income from
investment in the production of renewable energy, clean energy and waste-to-energy
process is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 10% for 15 years This could benefit
Vinamilk if they invest in energy-efficient equipment, waste management systems, or
renewable energy sources for their production facilities By adopting these
technologies, Vinamilk can reduce its environmental footprint and operational costs
1.2 Economic conditions
1.2.1 GDP According to recently released data from the General Statistics Office, GDP growth in
the first 9 months of 2022 increased by 8.83% over the same period last year, the
highest increase in 9 months This creates a higher purchasing power in the market
and ensures the product's position in the market share of Vietnam's dairy industry
However, customers’ requirements and preferences are increasingly varied as a result
of the more varied income distribution among them When it comes to convenience,
variety, quality, and aesthetics, they could be more demanding or ready to pay more
Consequently, using yogurt and other dairy products became necessary high-quality
water (organic, A2 milk) and plant-based milk substitutes (almond milk, walnut
milk,

1.2.2 Exchange rates Exchange rates affect Vinamilk's profits through raw material costs, product prices,
competitive interests and international business If the value of the importing country's
currency increases compared to VND, raw material costs increase, causing a negative
impact on profits If the value of VND decreases compared to the export currency,
product prices increase, which may affect Vinamilk's sales and competitive benefits
Vinamilk has expanded its business to many different countries, so exchange rate
changes can affect revenue and profits from foreign markets

Trang 101.2.3 Inflation
Vinamilk's after-tax profit fell by more than 26%, declining for six consecutive
quarters as inflation impacted purchasing power and input material pressure Vinamilk
stated that high inflation led to a decrease in consumption, with the consumption value
of the entire fast-moving consumer goods industry quickly falling by 2% in the first
five months of the year Meanwhile, competition is increasingly fierce as many new
companies enter the milk market Export activities are still equivalent to the same
period, but direct export activities have declined due to a decrease in the purchasing
power of foreign markets in the short term and freight rates remain high

@ Doanhthu @ Loinhuansauthué -9- Biển lãi gộp
Vietnam is a country located in the Asia-Pacific region, considered a dynamic
developing country, rich in potential, with an important strategic location, abundant
labor force, and average per capita income People increase and participate strongly in
the world market through the signing of free trade agreements An increase in income
causes an increase in purchasing power
A growing number of people are concerned about their health due to factors including
a high birth rate, expanding material life, steadily rising income, and vast population
As a result, this creates chances for the dairy market and Vinamilk to grow and
develop
10
Trang 11Vietnam's age structure (2020)
6.91%
9.55% 22.61%
Since children make up 23% of the nation's population and are the primary drinkers of
liquid milk, Vinamilk is advising this client base to adopt product lines that improve
resistance, typically increase height The target product is liquid milk
Seventy percent of the nation's population is adults (defined as 15-64 years old),
which is a rather high number This set of employees makes selections about what to
buy based on their income and expenses; they are frequently concerned with the
caliber of goods and brands Vinamilk does not restrict the distribution of a specific
product to clients in this age range
Older adults (65 years of age and above) This is a potential target group in this liquid
milk consumption trend in the near future, since just 7% of the population, which is a
relatively tiny number, will consume powdered milk more than liquid milk
Vietnamese people gradually tend to care about environmental issues and sustainable
development Therefore, Vinamilk has launched an organic milk product line,
produced from organic raw materials, without using toxic chemicals and pesticides
Not only does this create a high-quality product, but it also helps protect the
environment by minimizing chemical use and negative impacts on land and water
1.4 Technological factors
The application of automation systems and artificial intelligence (AI) in farm
management and operation has helped Vinamilk's happy cows to be always optimally
and thoroughly cared for
HH
Trang 12Vinamilk Tay Ninh Dairy Cow Resort pioneers the integration of modern technology
4.0 into dairy farming practices in Vietnam, revolutionizing management and
operational systems within the farm By automating tasks and enabling remote
monitoring, employees can efficiently oversee farm activities from any location
Recognizing the challenges posed by natural conditions, Vinamilk invests in cutting-
edge science and technology to transform Tay Ninh into a sprawling Dairy Resort
adorned with lush grasslands spanning hundreds of hectares with A sophisticated air
conditioning system, an automatic cooling system regulated by internal and external
climate sensors Each cow is outfitted with electronic chips in their necks, facilitating
the collection of performance, health, and milk productivity data, which is then
analyzed centrally The management center employs an automatic analysis system to
evaluate individual conditions, providing specialized care as needed to ensure high-
quality milk production Tailored nutritional solutions are devised by the diet
management system based on individual development stages, with the Lely Juno robot
autonomously dispensing appropriate food rations in each cow barn Juno enhances
the dining experience with soothing music, fostering relaxation and enjoyment for the
COWS
This approach ensures that the ltvestock remains healthy, productive, and yields raw
milk of exceptional quality, meeting stringent standards Utilizing a suite of
management software encompassing areas like ration, nutrition, health, and equipment
management, Vinamilk ensures seamless operations with data stored, analyzed, and
accessed through cloud computing The company's commitment to modernization
extends to its continuous investment in state-of-the-art equipment and regular updates
with the latest global technologies to enhance dairy farming efficiency
1.5 Environmental forces
Vietnam's climate is characterized by a hot and humid windy climate However, there
are places with temperate climates like Sa Pa, Lao Cai, Da Lat , and places with
continental climates like Lai Chau, Son La suitable for growing high-quality grass
Despite the culinary climate, in general, the natural conditions are quite suitable for
developing the dairy farming industry, especially in the provinces of Tuyen Quang,
12
Trang 13Lam Dong, Ba Vi, Nghe An, Son La The construction of Cow farms provide
Vinamilk with cheap raw materials, reducing dependence on foreign supplies Indeed,
Vinamilk is a pioneering enterprise in developing raw material areas in Vietnam
1.6 Legal and regulatory factors
Food safety laws set regulations on product quality, origin and manufacturing
processes to ensure consumer safety Compliance with this food safety law can ensure
that Vinamilk products are highly appreciated for their quality and safety, thereby
creating consumer trust and increasing sales
Product quality control is a Food Safety Act that sets requirements for the quality and
safety of products sold on the market If there is a violation related to the quality or
safety of Vinamilk products, the company may face lawsuits, loss of customer trust
and even product recalls and fines from agencies
Vinamilk must comply with advertising rules and provide accurate information about
its products If a company violates these regulations, it can face fines and loss of
reputation in the industry
Restriction on the use of additives and chemicals places restriction on the use of
certain types of additives or chemicals in food production If Vinamilk does not
comply with these regulations, the company may face inspection, fines and being
banned from doing business for a certain period of time
2 Other factors
2.1 Substitute
Competitive pressures coming from the producers of substitute products
To meet the increasingly diverse needs of consumers, the food market is constantly
changing and diversifying its range of products In the dairy sector, the emergence of
alternatives such as nut milk, soy milk, cereal blends with milk, and milk-infused
beverages all have the potential to compete with Vinamilk's market share These
products are developed to meet consumer demand for weight loss and enhanced
nutrition Although they still provide essential nutrients and maintain low levels of fat,
13
Trang 14they still have disadvantages compared to Vinamilk in terms of short shelf life,
difficulty in use, and inability to fully replace the traditional characteristics of milk
products
2.2 Buyers
Competitive pressures stemming from buyer bargaining power (Customer
bargaining power)
End consumers can exert pressure on Vinamilk regarding the quality of its dairy
products Intense competition in the dairy industry has led to relatively uniform
pricing among various dairy brands If raw material prices rise, companies may
increase product prices while still being accepted by customers, resulting in low
bargaining power for buyers However, consumers can choose to use different dairy
brands to vary flavors or try new ones Moreover, today's consumers can easily search
for information online and compare products before making purchasing decisions,
significantly affecting Vinamilk's revenue While individual customers shopping at
small stores may not significantly impact Vinamilk's retail prices, large customers
such as distributors and bulk purchasers have the leverage to negotiate prices with
Vinamilk Therefore, pressure from distributors and bulk purchasers can directly
affect Vinamilk's total revenue as they can directly influence end consumers'
purchasing decisions through recommendations or product introductions
2.3 New entrants
Competitive pressures coming from the threat of entry of new rivals
According to experts' evaluations, entering the dairy industry nowadays poses
numerous barriers Firstly, the cost of entry into the industry is not excessively high
but still requires sufficient resources to maintain activities such as marketing,
advertising, research, and development Especially in the yogurt and flavored milk
sector, these costs can be substantial Secondly, product differentiation is also a
significant barrier Most major dairy brands worldwide have entered the Vietnamese
market, holding a certain market share and showing minimal changes over time
Therefore, any new entrants wishing to join the industry must invest heavily and have
14
Trang 15the ability to influence consumer loyalty to established brands Thirdly, although
distribution channels in the dairy industry have been extensively exploited, new
competitors still need to convince these channels by offering high commission rates
In conclusion, the pressure from potential competitors of Vinamilk is low because the
barriers to entry into the dairy industry remain quite significant, demanding new
enterprises to have substantial costs to enter this business sector, which 1s not an easy
task
2.4 Rivals
Competitive pressures coming from other firms in the industry (Internal
competition)
In the current Vietnamese milk market, Vinamilk is encountering fierce competition
from both domestic and foreign brands Despite Vinamilk's significant market share, it
still faces major and formidable players such as TH True Milk, Moc Chau, Dutch
Lady, These competitors are reputable with strong marketing strategies and ample
financial resources for product research and development The competitive landscape
for Vinamilk is expected to further escalate as the dairy milk market expands in the
future Apart from its core products, Vinamilk also provides other products like
cheese, sugar, coffee, to meet daily consumer needs However, these additional
products from Vinamilk have not yet made a significant impact, primarily due to their
later entry compared to other prominent competitors in the industry Therefore,
Vinamilk faces substantial pressure due to the high number and capabilities of
competing enterprises
2.5 Suppliers
Competitive pressures stemming from supplier bargaining power (Supplier
bargaining power)
As of now, Vinamilk is no longer heavily dependent on suppliers In addition to
focusing on product quality research and marketing campaigns, Vinamilk is also
actively building high-quality dairy farms in Vietnam, moving towards self-
sufficiency in milk supply With 12 internationally standardized dairy farm systems,
