TP.HCM không chỉ là cái nôi nuôi dưỡng Vinamilk, mà ngành sữa Việt Nam cũng xuất phát từ TP.HCM, lan tỏa đến tất cả các tỉnh thành trong cả nước. Nguồn nguyên liệu sữa tươi, đàn bò trên cả nước cũng có nguồn gốc từ TP này
Vinamilk, a household name in Vietnam's dairy industry, exemplifies this growth narrative. Its journey from three small, outdated factories to a multi-billion dollar corporation mirrors the city's own evolution. Mai Kiều Liên, the CEO of Vinamilk, fondly recalls the early days, acknowledging the pioneering efforts of predecessors who laid the groundwork for the innovative policies that have propelled both the company and the city forward. She emphasizes that Ho Chi Minh City is not just the cradle of Vinamilk but also the birthplace of Vietnam's entire dairy sector, a sentiment that underscores the city's profound impact on national industries.
Looking ahead, while Ho Chi Minh City's dynamism is undeniable, experts and business leaders point towards the need for continued evolution. A shift towards higher quality and more sustainable development models, coupled with a more robust financial ecosystem and substantive institutional reforms, will be crucial for the city to sustain its role as Vietnam's economic vanguard. The city's ability to adapt and innovate will undoubtedly shape its future trajectory and its continued influence on the global stage.
