The strategy aimed at building a modern, sustainable sector integrated into global value chains.

Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son has signed a Prime Ministerial decision, approving
Vietnam’s Dairy Industry Development Strategy through 2030, with a vision to
2045, with a roadmap aimed at building a modern, sustainable sector integrated into
global value chains.

The strategy targets the creation of a self-reliant dairy
ecosystem, spanning from herd development to high-value finished products.

By 2030, the industry is expected to grow at an annual rate
of 12–14%, with processed liquid milk output reaching 4.2 billion liters per
year. Domestic fresh milk production is projected at 2.6 billion liters,
meeting 60–65% of processing demand and reducing reliance on imports.

Looking ahead to 2045, per capita milk consumption is
forecast to reach 100 liters annually. Processed milk output is expected to
climb to 9.7 billion liters, with local raw milk supplying up to 85% of
industry needs.

Technology will play a pivotal role, with digitalization,
blockchain and artificial intelligence encouraged in herd management and
traceability systems. The strategy also promotes green production, circular
economy models and stricter food safety standards aligned with Codex, ISO and
HACCP benchmarks.

Vietnam will diversify products, strengthen global market
access through free trade agreements, and promote a national dairy brand while expanding
school milk programs to improve child nutrition.
