US Ambassador to Vietnam Evans Knapper shared the view during a visit to Vinamilk’s dairy plant in Cantho on April 8, expecting greater cooperation between the two sides once the pandemic is subdued.
At the site, Knapper expressed his impression of the strong development of Vietnam’s dairy industry, including the growth of Vinamilk amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition to supporting policies from the Government, active trade promotion and efforts from each enterprise have contributed to greater effectiveness in economic cooperation between the two countries, Knapper said.

In this context, Vinamilk has maintained its status as one of the leading dairy companies in Vietnam which maintain close cooperation with its US partners via the imports of machinery, input materials, and cow from the US, as well as investment in dairy processing plant there in the past years, Knapper said.
Vinamilk currently boasts a network of 16 diary plants and 14 farms of international standards across the country and abroad.
