Vinamilk recorded an after-tax profit of VND2,102 billion ($90 million) in the second quarter of 2022, down 26.5% year-on-year, as inflation impacted purchasing power and prices of input materials surged.

Last year, Vinamilk invested heavily in the Vietnamese Dairy Dream chain, opening 120 new stores and bringing the total number of stores to nearly 600, according to the company's annual report.
It is currently one of 40 largest dairy companies in the world in terms of revenue with a system of 17 factories and 15 domestic and foreign farms, its website says. Its products are present in 57 countries, with many exported to leading markets like the U.S., Japan and South Korea.
In 2022, Vinamilk has set a revenue target of VND64,000 billion ($2.73 billion). It continues to make new investments including a farm complex in Laos, Milk Paradise in Moc Chau district, Son La province, and a dairy factory in Hung Yen province. It is also cooperating with major partners like Japan's Sojitz Corporation and the Philippines' Del Monte to bolster growth.
