Prior to this collaboration, the Chinese partners visited Vinamilk's facilities in Vietnam, and expressed trust in Vinamilk's capabilities after sampling Vinamilk's products tailored for the Chinese market. This remarkable partnership sees Vinamilk producing customized yogurt products, tailored to meet the Chinese market's quality standards and preferences. Concurrently, Chinese partners will oversee importation, distribution network, regulatory compliance, and trade promotions.

"Yogurt holds a vital place in the Chinese consumers' diet. Since the protocol allowing the export of Vietnamese dairy products to China was established, I've been eager to collaborate with Vinamilk to introduce the brand's yogurt products to China," said Ye Canjiang, Chairman and General Manager of Guangzhou Jiangnan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market Management Company Limited, the leading wholesale market management company in Guangdong. Another partner, who is expert in food import and distribution and plays a pivotal role in establishing the presence Ong Tho (Vinamilk's sweetened condensed milk) in China, also conveyed their trust in this collaboration.

I firmly believe that Vinamilk's yogurt products will swiftly reach the world's most populous market and receive a positive reception."
