Amidstthe fierce competition and the flood of foreign goods in Vietnam, local consumershave more chances to compare and select products. Therefore, the rankingreflects the successful efforts of Vietnamese businesses in promoting theirbrands in both domestic and foreign markets.
However,it is noteworthy that the above mentioned brands have been listed in therankings for many times, while many more popular made-in-Vietnam products stillfail to make the list.
BuiHuy Son, head of the Trade Promotion Department under the Ministry of Industryand Trade, said building brands is still a new concept in Vietnam as comparedwith other economies in Europe or North America.
Headded that despite changes in awareness, local firms’ capacity for branddevelopment remains limited.
TheNational Brand Programme will continue its support for businesses in producing goodsof national standards, participating in national trade promotion programmes, accessingmarket information and joining training courses on brand development and tradepromotion skills, he said.
