HCM CITY — Vissan Joint Stock Company reported pre-tax profits of nearly VNĐ208 billion (US$9.01 million) on revenues of VNĐ5.16 trillion ($223.4 million) for last year, in both cases achieving the targets it set for itself.

Its production of beef and processed products also met the targets while pork output fell slightly short.

It launched many new products last year, including pork braised with eggs and coconut water, beef ball, dragon fruit dumpling, gấc fruit dumpling, pumpkin dumpling, five-spice mushroom spring roll, and ready-to-cook pork.

It began selling via a hotline, 19001960, Fanpage and website at vissanmart.com, and launched online stores on Sendo, Lomart and Grab.

In 2021, amid shrinking pork supply due to the African swine fever epidemic, Vissan plans to find more farms that meet VietGAP standards and TE-FOOD traceability to ensure steady pig supply.

It also plans to develop more fresh meat products using chilled meat processing technology and modified atmosphere packaging technology, and expand its distribution system, especially online. — VNS
