These are also the only Vietnamese milk products honored at the awards ceremony in the Netherlands. The unique thing about the products that conquered the "champion" title was revealed by Vinamilk immediately afterwards.
Convincing victory from "feel" to "feel"
At the Global Dairy Congress 2025 held in the Netherlands, in addition to being the only Southeast Asian enterprise invited to present a speech, Vinamilk also made a special mark when it was honored in the two highest positions at the World Dairy Innovation Awards, a prestigious annual award within the framework of the Conference.
This year, the Global Dairy Industry Innovation Award has entered its 18th season with the participation of hundreds of products from more than 40 milk brands from 11 countries. After 3 rounds of selection from the international professional council, experts from the nutrition, media and marketing industry will select the nominations for each category and finally, in the final round, only one best product will conquer the championship position.
At the awards ceremony held in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Vinamilk Green Farm Men Greek Yogurt was named the excellent product that won the "Best Yogurt" award and Vinamilk Vegetable Yogurt was honored with the highest position in the "Best Packaging Design" category. Both are new products that Vinamilk "launched" at the beginning of this year. Posting on the official website immediately afterwards, Vinamilk shared more information about the "champion" products, revealing more reasons behind the spectacular victory.
Specifically, not only a regular yogurt product, Vinamilk Green Farm Greek Men's Yogurt is a unique combination of 30-year-old Greek yogurt technology and creativity in combining a unique flavor set including: Roasted Robusta coffee with chocolate and Natural honey, both eaten with cereal, creating a "unique" and rich in its own flavor. Another unique feature that contributes to the family's more delicious taste is the "open - Up - Enjoy" experience - not only the way of eating, but an emotional flavor journey.
In particular, to win the Best Yogurt category, Vinamilk Green Farm Men Greek Yogurt has surpassed 10 products in the nomination round, including many names from Europe - which are considered the "cradle" of high-end yogurt products. This is also the only product on the nomination list with a different experience compared to the way of eating traditional yogurts.
Next was the winning product in the category of "Best Packaging Design": Vinamilk plant yogurt - the first vegan yogurt in Vietnam. Not only conquering Vietnamese consumers, this product impressed the world's professional council with a design that has just been able to fully feel the smooth, thick yogurt and the diverse, delicious flavor of the product.
Vinamilk plant yogurt has a smooth texture and delicious taste developed with a formula that achieves an absolute score recognized by the top 1% of world chefs and 100% natural fermentation technology from plant milks with Lactobacillus Bulgaricus enzyme from Europe, Vinamilk representative shared more when asked about the product.
The highest award is consumer trust
According to the organizing committee, the 2025 Global Dairy Industry Innovation Award (Netherlands) focuses on innovation with "users" as the focus, expressed through the following aspects: application of new technology, product improvement, health value, user experience and the ability to lead industry trends. Because today, only brands that dare to take a step forward, dare to innovate and be creative are strong enough to lead market trends.
With these criteria, being on the nomination list is a success, and the final winning product is truly the best name for pioneering thinking, innovation and value creation.
It can be seen that Vinamilk's two products conquering the international professional council on "delic and product design" also clarify the company's comprehensive innovation strategy: comprehensive investment in "content" and "form", "technology innovation" and " creativity of experience", based on focusing on user experience, from emotions to convenience, not only meeting but also needing to go beyond expectations.
This is also similar to the assessment from Mr. Dan Bunt, representative of the Organizing Committee of the Award: "This year's award-winning products clearly reflect the outstanding trend of innovation in the dairy industry, which is the explosion of new, creative flavors, flexible application of technology and added values from dairy products"
Speaking to the media immediately after receiving the award, Mr. Nguyen Quang Tri, Vinamilk Marketing Executive Director, passionately shared: The awards and recognition from independent, prestigious organizations in the world have motivated Vinamilk to do better. However, we do not come for awards, but the biggest award is the trust, acceptance and choice of consumers. The customer philosophy has always been a core factor for sustainable development at Vinamilk.
The "for customers" philosophy and the "innovation" strategy emphasized by Mr. Tri were also recognized by experts and leaders attending the recent conference as the foundation for the future of the dairy industry. With Vinamilk, it can be seen that it is a nearly 50-year journey of a national brand built with outstanding quality, constant innovation and real value to elevate the milk industry in the international arena.
Commenting on the impressive results of the Vietnamese representative, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Quang Trung, Chairman of the Vietnam Milk Association shared: Vinamilk's participation in the Global Milk Conference and its mark with the award for innovation and creativity clearly demonstrated the bravery of a national brand. This is a step forward to affirm that we not only participate in the global playground to learn, but also to position the Vietnamese milk industry on the world map with a professional, creative and powerful image.
