[Vnbiz] the milk crisis in VN [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[QuangAnh.Nguyen at dfat.gov.au]

Dear CACC

Please see attached an interesting article on the current milk quality
crisis in Vietnam. In short, as you may see in some other news recently,
the Government has started an inspection on quality of so-called "fresh
milk" produced by domestic milk companies (including both foreign invested
and local invested companies). It is said that a large proportion of the
"fresh milk" selling in Vietnam market are made from powdered milk...Of
course, the mill companies can make a lot of $$$ from this intransparent
process.

This scandal reflect a very unfair relation between the two side: producers
and consumers. The consumer protection legal framework is there, but
enforcement is quite poor (I remember this issue has been mentioned some
time ago on our forum).

Regards
