Abstract :
[en] In Vietnam, the consumption of dairy products has increased dramatically in
recent years due to rising incomes. To meet this growing demand, and reduce
imports, the Vietnamese Government has encouraged milk production. In this
context, our research is primarily interested in the distribution of value added
among the actors within the fresh milk chain observed in the province of
Son La.
Our study demonstrates that value added within the fresh milk chain was
unequally distributed among actors in the chain in the bias orientation to the
non-farmers (non-producer). The key feature in the chain was the dairy
farmers, but they were also the most vulnerable actors of the chain. Given the
balance of power among the actors, the most appropriate method to promote
the added value for dairy producers is to help a better control on their
production costs by improving the management at the dairy farm.
