VIET NAM - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Vietnam is a densely-populated developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover from the ravages of war, the loss of financial support from the old Soviet Bloc, and the rigidities of a centrally-planned economy. While Vietnam's economy remains dominated by state-owned enterprises, which still produce about 40% of GDP, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and international integration. They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive export-driven industries. Vietnam joined the World Trade Organization in January 2007 following more than a decade-long negotiation process. Vietnam became an official negotiating partner in the developing Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement in 2010. Agriculture's share of economic output has continued to shrink from about 25% in 2000 to about 22% in 2011, while industry's share increased from 36% to 40% in the same period. Deep poverty has declined significantly, and Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is growing by more than one million people every year. The global recession has hurt Vietnam's export-oriented economy, with GDP in 2009-11 growing less than the 7% per annum average achieved during the last decade. In 2011, exports increased by more than 33%, year-on-year, and the trade deficit, while reduced from 2010, remained high, prompting the government to maintain administrative trade measures to limit the trade deficit. Vietnam's managed currency, the dong, continues to face downward pressure due to a persistent trade imbalance. Since 2008, the government devalued it in excess of 20% through a series of small devaluations. Foreign donors pledged nearly $8 billion in new development assistance for 2011. However, the government's strong growth-oriented economic policies have caused it to struggle to control one of the region's highest inflation rates, which reached as high as 23% in August 2011 and averaged 18% for the year. In February 2011, Vietnam shifted its focus away from economic growth to stabilizing its economy and tightened fiscal and monetary policies. In early 2012 Vietnam unveiled a broad "three pillar" economic reform program, proposing the restructuring of public investment, state-owned enterprises and the banking sector. Vietnam's economy continues to face challenges from low foreign exchange reserves, an undercapitalized banking sector, and high borrowing costs. The near-bankruptcy and subsequent default of the state-owned-enterprise Vinashin, a leading shipbuilder, led to a ratings downgrade of Vietnam's sovereign debt, exacerbating Vietnam's borrowing difficulties

INTERPRETATION ON THE SCORES

 

Being a foreign invested company, the subject was officially licensed in Dec 2007, and started to build factory after that. Until March 2010, the factory was put into operation and it began commercial production. Total invested capital of subject was changed up to 87,000,000 USD in year 2011. Cafe Outspan Vietnam Limited is a subsidiary of Olam International Limited and is located in the Nhut Chanh Industrial Park, Long An Province.

Its parent - Olam International limited - is a leading integrated supply chain manager and processor of agricultural products and food ingredients in the world, sourcing 20 kinds of products with a direct presence in 65 countries and supplying them to over 11,600 customers. With direct sourcing and processing facilities in most major countries, Olam has built a leading position for its various products in the world market such as cocoa, coffee, cashew, sesame, rice, cotton and wood products. Before the subject, Olam has presented in Vietnam since 1996. It has coffee factories in Central Highlands region as Buon Ma Thuot city, Di Linh District, and cashew factories in Dong Nai province and Pleiku Town.

The subject focuses on the field of manufacture of coffee products, including the following types: Soluble spray dried coffee, Soluble freeze-dried coffee, Soluble agglomerated coffee, Freeze Coffee Liquid. The coffee bean is one of the strength points of Vietnam in exporting; hence, subject takes the advantage of rich material with low price and good quality. These products after processed are mainly exported to overseas such as USA, Singapore, etc but mainly via its parent company group. About 80 to 90 percent of output is use for export while the rest is sold in Vietnam market. However, at this moment, the subject’s brand seems to be very difficult to compete in Vietnam market with other longer brands name of coffee such as Trung Nguyen Coffee, Vinacafe, etc. However, in international market, the subject has a great advantage from the influence of its parent company.

Currently, the factory and machines, equipments are already set up and built, so the subject is going to producing stable with capacity of 12,000tons/year. In our viewpoint, subject is in the first time of operation and production; it needs more time to stabilize its operation and cover high initial investments. Hence, the business results for some first years of operation maybe not high as desired. Now, the subject is operating normally, factory’s facility is above average. It is considered one of the largest one in South East Asia region. It is expected to develop further in the future.
