The fact that Vietnamese products have affirmed themselves in the world market has caused the value of Vietnam's national brand to also increase on the global rankings.

A report by Brand Finance (the world's leading independent brand valuation and strategy consulting organization, headquartered in the UK) shows that, in 2016, Vietnam's national brand was valued at 141 billion USD. By 2021, it will be 388 billion USD, in 2022 it will reach 431 billion USD and in 2023, it will reach 498.13 billion USD, an increase of 15.6% compared to 2022, recording continuous double-digit percentage growth in brand value.

Since 2016, Vinamilk has brought condensed milk and condensed creamer products to supermarket shelves in Arizona and California (USA).

The presence of Vietnam's leading domestic beer product in the US market will be money for Habeco to continue its "Go Global" strategy with the mission of enhancing the position of the Vietnamese brand, expanding markets and diversifying export products.

Not only has there been a bumper harvest of agricultural products (dragon fruit, coconut, lychee, mango, banana, seedless lemon) to the EU, Chairman of the Board of Directors of MIA Group Co., Ltd. Nguyen Ngoc Huyen has successfully built a "fruit map". "Vietnamese trees" - a place to systematize information, data, and images of Vietnamese fruits according to geographical indications and regional endemism, presented on an e-commerce platform. This has helped connect partners who want to import Vietnamese agricultural products with farmers.

Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Huyen said, "Vietnam fruit map" was nominated as a new business trend in Asia at the 2022 ASIA Fruit Logistica International Fair held in Thailand. In the near future, this will be a social network to connect buyers and sellers, including domestic and international B2B market (a form of business-to-business business). All domestic and international businesses can participate. Enterprises will place orders and cooperatives will receive planting orders according to customer-requested standards. From there, gradually solve the situation of "good season losing prices", as well as eliminate the scene of "rescuing" agricultural products.

Enhance your brand

Bringing a Vietnamese brand to the world stage is difficult, but maintaining the brand is even more difficult. It is a process that requires businesses to constantly innovate, develop, and create quality products to serve the diverse needs of consumers.

With decades of experience exporting Vietnamese goods, General Director of Vietnam Organic Nutrition Food Joint Stock Company (Vinanutrifood) Nguyen Thi Diem Hang said, Vinanutrifood always determines that to have a position in the international market, it must build a strong and unique brand, and at the same time export deeply processed products through official channels, avoid exporting raw products, which leads to products reaching consumers with foreign labels.
