Vietnam’s fresh milk industry
Vietnam’s dairy industry has expanded rapidly over the past decade, driven by rising incomes, urbanisation, and increasing demand for nutritional products.
Domestic production has grown, but the sector still relies heavily on imported milk powder and feed inputs to meet consumption needs.
Major local players have invested in large-scale farms and processing capacity, while foreign brands continue to compete across premium and specialised segments.
Government policies and investment incentives have supported herd expansion, supply chain development, and improvements in food safety standards.
Consumption is expected to continue rising, supported by demographic trends and growing awareness of health and nutrition.
