Overcome difficulties to maintain production and supply necessities to consumers
On Oct 12 Politburo member and National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue held a meeting with a delegation of business executives on the occasion of Vietnam Entrepreneurs Day (October 13).
He said: “The business community has upheld the spirit of solidarity, demonstrated a sense of responsibility and self-reliance and taken the initiative to adapt to difficult conditions. Many innovative models have been applied creatively.”
Masan Group, whose core businesses are production of essential consumer goods and retail, has more than 30 factories and a number of hi-tech livestock and crop farms in most of the country’s key economic regions.
Every day Masan supplies essential items such as rice, noodles, soy sauce, fish sauce, beverages, pork, chicken, eggs, vegetables, and others to the market.
Its consumer brands like CHIN-SU soy sauce, Nam Ngu fish sauce, MEATDeli meat, CHIN-SU pho, OMACHI noodles, and WinEco (formerly VinEco) clean vegetables are familiar names among Vietnamese families.
As one of the few enterprises in the country capable of integrating the entire chain comprising production, supply, distribution, and retail, Masan has been serving the essential needs of a large number of customers all over Vietnam.
Since the end of 2019 VinMart and VinMart+ retail chain has signed strategic agreements to provide essential goods and proactively control the supply chain comprising Masan Group’s affiliates to ensure sufficient supply of goods at stable prices.
There are nearly 500 VinMart/VinMart+ supermarkets and stores in HCM City. Each ward has at least one VinMart+ store capable of handling hundreds of orders per day.
During the stressful days of the pandemic, VinCommerce closely coordinated with local authorities in Ho Chi Minh City to quickly deliver essential goods to consumers.
“We immediately contacted ward and neighborhood groups to draw up delivery plansand connect with local ‘grocery shopping and delivery programs’,” Phuong said.
Masan Group has proactively implemented epidemic prevention measures to ensure the safety of production and retail chains.
Thanks to well-managed anti-pandemic work and vaccination of employees, Masan's factories and supermarkets have remained open. All its factories, supermarkets, stores, and offices strictly follow 5K rules. The company also regularly organizes COVID-19 testing for certain of its departments.
