[en] Vietnam locates in the Asia-the most active region, where gains the highest economic
growth rate and highest milk consumption in the world. Vietnam also ranks the second
among the highest milk productivity in the Asia and milk consumption is increasing rapidly.
However, the dairy industry in Vietnam is currently able to meet only 22% of domestic
demand; the remaining amount has been imported (VOV/VNA, 2008). In addition, raw milk
price is very low while retail price is too high. It leads to low effective in the production of
the whole chain. This paper is based on the value chain approach within both quantitative
and qualitative methods to evaluate a typical fresh value chain in the North of Vietnam in
(Moc Chau platation) in 2008 - 2010. The findings show that the dairy plant is the most
powerful actor in the chain and it drives the whole chain while power of dairymen is very
weak. The value added of the chain is distributed unequally among its actors in whom more
benefitable for non-dairy cow producers. In particular, the value added in dairy cow stage
would be much lower.
