Global dairy industry emerges with many Asian milk brands

The Global Dairy Conference is a high-level forum that brings together nearly 200 dairy industry leaders to share, discuss and update information on the latest developments and future trends of the entire industry.

This year, the conference chose the theme "Dairy for All Ages", raising a big question: How can dairy products increasingly better meet all nutritional needs, affirming the natural nutritional value of milk for sustainable development.

In addition to the participation of countries considered the "cradle of the dairy industry" such as the US, New Zealand and many European countries..., in recent years, the conference has had the participation of large enterprises from Asia such as China or India with the advantage of a "billion-people" market size or Japan known as a technologically developed country. From Southeast Asia, Vietnam started participating in the conference in 2019 with a typical enterprise being Vinamilk, which is also the only representative of the region to present a speech.

Ms. Laurence Rycken, General Director of the International Dairy Federation (IDF), commented: "Currently, IDF has members from India, Japan, Korea and China. We really hope to have more members from Vietnam and Asian countries participating. Vinamilk is a large enterprise in the region. Through many years of attending global dairy conferences, I see that Vietnam and Vinamilk have many success stories, which are worth learning from for other markets."

Given the scale and influence of industry leaders, these strategies are not just their own stories, but also create impact and outline the future of the dairy industry.

At the conference, Mr. Nguyen Quang Tri, Vinamilk's Marketing Executive Director, opened his presentation with the theme "Born by Nature, Perfected by Science " by emphasizing: "The future of the dairy industry lies in the ability to combine natural nutritional values ​​and outstanding scientific advances, to "unlock" nature and upgrade the nutritional value of milk. This philosophy is also the guiding principle for all of Vinamilk's innovations, with the goal of constantly improving the value and quality of dairy products to care for all needs and all ages."

Specifically, Vinamilk Green Farm fresh milk with dual vacuum technology has been shared by Vinamilk as an "unimaginable" step forward in the dairy industry. After 2 years of research and testing, Vinamilk successfully reduced up to 50% of free oxygen radicals in Vinamilk Green Farm fresh milk, helping to lock in the freshness and natural floral aftertaste.

As a result of this investment, Vinamilk Green Farm has won many international awards for both taste and quality such as Superior Taste, Monde Selection (Belgium) and passed more than 400 strict criteria on quality and production conditions to achieve safety and purity according to Clean Label Project (USA), setting a new standard for fresh milk in Vietnam.

"Breakthroughs in science and technology help us not only preserve the best values ​​from nature, but also develop nutritional solutions that are closest to "natural"", said Mr. Nguyen Quang Tri when talking about the breakthrough called "The first 6 HMOs in Vietnam".

Mr. Richard Hall, Chairman of the Global Dairy Conference shared: "Milk is a very good nutritional foundation, but it always needs to be innovated to suit human needs. We cannot consume hundreds of products at the same time but must choose what is best for the body. More than ever, technology helps the dairy industry develop sustainably and go further. In 5 years of participation, the Vietnamese representative has brought many valuable shares. This year, the products are very creative with many impressive technologies, quality and delicious. I think, that is all we need to develop the dairy industry".

In addition to fresh milk and formula milk, Vinamilk also shares many nutritional breakthroughs in other product lines such as: Vinamilk Green Farm pasteurized drinking yogurt integrates for the first time 6 strains of live yeast and probiotics from Europe; or the whole soybean grinding technology of Vinamilk 9-grain nut milk product, keeping the maximum natural nutritional ingredients and delicious taste from the nuts, especially, reducing the amount of by-products (soybean residue) compared to traditional production methods.

Within the framework of the Global Dairy Conference in the Netherlands, two Vinamilk products were honored at the World Dairy Innovation Awards 2025. Specifically, the Best Yogurt category named Vinamilk Green Farm Greek high-protein yogurt and Best Packaging Design was for Vinamilk plant-based yogurt.

This has contributed to impressing the global dairy industry community with the level of investment in science and technology, as well as the innovation and creativity of the Vietnamese milk brand, which is ranked 6th in the world. Although Vietnam is a young country in the dairy industry, the pioneering of leading enterprises in the industry has helped affirm the position and mark of Vietnamese milk on the global stage, with "made in Vietnam" products that possess the world's leading technology and standards.

"I am really impressed with the presentation from Vietnam today, especially about innovative products such as Vinamilk Green Farm or formula milk with 6HMOs. They also have many award-winning products this time. I have worked for many years in the nutrition industry, so I find it very interesting that Vinamilk is promoting innovation in product ingredients as well as having many achievements in sustainable development. Compared to many other places in the world, the level and speed of digital technology application in Asia, including Vietnam, is very high," said Ms. Sandra Einerhand, Founder of Einerhand Science and Innovation Organization, Netherlands.
