Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh said that the Vietnam National Brand program is a specific, long-term and unique trade promotion program of the Government aiming to build and develop the national brand through product branding.
The participation in the programme is a process for enterprises to comprehensively evaluate their activities, business results and brand building strategies through criteria of the programme.
Several brands such as VnPay, Mobifone, Cholimex, Richy and Nam Ha Pharmacy won the title for the first time, while many brands have continued to hold their titles for years including Agribank, BIDV, May 10 Corporation, Saigon Tourist and others.
Nine months after the launch of the programme in 2020, 124 out of 1,000 registered enterprises were selected to be honoured with Vietnam National Brand this year, an increase of 27 enterprises over last year.

Initial statistics from VASEP showed that Vietnam’s total revenue from tra fish exports to mainland China and Hong Kong (China) reached USD385.9 million in the first 11 months of this year, accounting for 34.4% of Vietnam’s total revenue from tra fish exports.
The 11-month export revenue of tra fish to China decreased by 20.6% over the same period last year mainly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The number of tra fish processing and exporting enterprises to China also accounts for the largest number of tra fish enterprises.
Vietnam exports a diverse range of tra fish products to the Chinese market including frozen fillet, frozen tra fish stomach, fried/dried fish bladder, frozen whole tra fish, frozen tra fish belly, among others.
VASEP said that since the end of the third quarter of 2020, the import of Vietnamese tra fish from some major markets has seen positive signals, helping to increase prices of raw tra fish materials.
