Ten containers of seed milk including almond and red bean milk left Viet Nam in early January, have arrived in China and are being placed on the shelves of convenience stores in the world’s largest market.

To meet the demands of the Chinese market, Vinamilk has invested in creating new packaging designs for its products, to be used as gifts ahead of the upcoming traditional Lunar New Year festival in China.

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 sterilized milk, modified milk, sweetened condensed milk and other condensed milk products. It is the third factories of the firm licensed to do so to date.

The move has thereby contributed to expanding business opportunities for Vinamilk's high-end products in the Chinese market.

Vinamilk expanded its international trade significantly in 2020 with total revenue of over US$240 million, up 8% compared to 2019.

At present, Vinamilk is selling a variety of products, such as yogurt, condensed milk, seed milk, and soft drinks in the Chinese market.
