a) Product
Vissan CP Foods
Product Vissan has three sterilized sausage brands C. P. Vietnam's food products are produced

share, canned food accounts for 20% of the (CP Foods, 2024). Currently, CPV holds a
national market share. Vissan also develops market share of about 16% of industrial
seasoning products such as seasoning powder, chicken eggs, 22% of industrial chicken meat

Laos and a number of countries in the ISO 22000, ISO 14001, ISO 18001/SHE...
region.Furthermore, Vissan focuses on quality (Ngoan, 2020)
and food safety, using natural ingredients.
(Vissan, 2019)
In my opinion, CP Vietnam has a more diverse product portfolio, including fresh and processed foods,
while Vissan focuses mainly on processed products and spices. Both companies focus on food quality and
safety; CP Vietnam applies many international standards in the production process, while Vissan focuses
on using natural materials. Vissan holds a large market share in the domestic processed food market, while
CP Vietnam has a strong presence in many different industries, from fresh food to animal feed. Vissan has
an advantage in the processed food industry, especially sausages and sausages, while CP Vietnam stands
out with its product diversity and application of international standards in the production process.
Vissan's strength is its dominance in the domestic market, being one of the leading companies in the
processed food industry in Vietnam. The company holds 70% market share in the sausage segment and
40% in the traditional frozen segment. Vissan's product diversity, including sausages, canned foods,
condiments, and frozen goods, helps the company attract a wide range of customers and satisfy a variety of
needs. Furthermore, the company focuses on food quality and safety, using natural ingredients, which not
only builds reputation but also creates trust from consumers. The export of sausages to Laos and
Cambodia also shows Vissan's ability to expand its market and build its international brand.
However, Vissan also faces some weaknesses. The company depends heavily on the domestic market,
which can lead to risks when this market experiences fluctuations. Despite its large domestic market share,
Vissan currently only exports to a few countries in the region, and failure to expand its export market
could cause the company to miss out on global growth opportunities. In addition, competition in the frozen
and spice industries requires the company to continuously innovate and improve products to maintain its
position. Finally, using natural ingredients can result in higher production costs compared to competitors,
affecting price competitiveness.
b) Promotion
Vissan CP Foods
Promotion Marketing at Vissan businesses plays an CP Foods (Charoen Pokphand Foods)
important role and responsibility in deploys many diverse communication and
promoting the company's growth and marketing activities to promote its brand and
sustainable development, with a focus on products. The company uses advertising on
brand building. Marketing activities help television, newspapers, and digital media
build and strengthen the Vissan brand, such as social networks and websites to
making the brand familiar and trustworthy introduce products and interact with
in the minds of consumers. Advertising consumers. For example, the cooking
campaigns, communications and PR competition "CP - home chef" (Brands
activities all contribute to this goal. Vissan's Vietnam, 2020). Along with that, outdoor
advertisements mainly appear in advertising through billboards, hoardings, and
newspapers and magazines such as: Saigon posters in densely populated areas also helps

creating an impression on everyone.
Vissan's website is also an effective
information channel. Although Vissan's
advertising campaigns are not many, the
company's products are mainly known
through product introduction stores, dealer
systems or from articles published in print
and electronic newspapers (slideshare,
2023).
Marketing activities at Vissan and CP Foods are important in building brands and promoting development.
Vissan focuses on advertising in newspapers such as Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, Saigon Tiep Thi, and
on television channels HTV7, VTV3, along with outdoor advertising and on the company's website.
Despite few advertising campaigns, Vissan is mainly known for its product launches and newspaper
articles.In contrast, CP Foods deploys more diverse activities, from advertising on television, newspapers,
social networks, to outdoor advertising in densely populated areas. CP Foods also organizes promotions at
supermarkets, participates in culinary events, and carries out public relations activities, building brand
image through articles about product quality and social responsibility. CP Foods' point-of-sale marketing
also stands out with attractive product displays and free samples.In short, while Vissan focuses on
traditional channels, CP Foods has a more diverse and rich communication strategy, including digital
channels and public relations.
Vissan's promotional strategy has many strengths, including the use of a variety of advertising channels
such as newspapers, magazines, television, outdoor advertising and websites. Advertisements on HTV7
and VTV3, along with a system of cargo trucks with the logo of three yellow apricot blossoms, make the
brand easily recognizable. However, Vissan is limited in the number of advertising campaigns and relies
heavily on traditional media, making it difficult to reach young customers using digital platforms. To
improve, Vissan needs to increase the frequency of advertising campaigns and step up its digital marketing
strategy.
c ) Price

2023). (CP Foods, 2024)
Both Vissan and CP Food apply promotional pricing strategies to attract customers and increase sales, but
their approaches are distinctly different. Vissan mainly relies on flexible price adjustment according to
market fluctuations and customer needs, and organizes promotional activities at the point of sale, such as
inviting customers to try new products and giving vouchers and gifts. . Meanwhile, CP Food focuses on
seasonal and holiday promotions, providing discounts on large orders and specific products, while
maintaining relationships with loyal customers through loyalty cards. products and points accumulation
program. Both businesses focus on market research and customer needs, but Vissan stands out with its
flexible price adjustment strategy, while CP Food is strong in timely promotions and customer retention.
Vissan's promotional pricing strategy has many obvious strengths and weaknesses. In terms of strengths,
Dynamic Pricing helps Vissan respond quickly to market fluctuations, optimizing revenue by applying
appropriate prices for each time and customer group. Point-of-sale promotions such as invitations to try
new products, vouchers and gifts help increase customer experience and attract new customers. However,
this strategy also has weaknesses. Continuously adjusting prices requires complex data management and
analysis systems, which can cause confusion and loss of trust among customers if prices change too
frequently. Promotional activities at the point of sale require high costs and can only reach a certain group
of customers, and cannot expand the reach like online promotional campaigns.
d) Place

Domestically, the company has a large customers. They provide high-end products at

Singapore and Southeast Asian countries
(Thuong, 2023) .
Compared to Vissan, CP Foods demonstrates a clearer price segmentation strategy to meet the diverse
needs of customers. While Vissan focuses on expanding its domestic and international distribution system,
with a wide network of agents and sales points, CP Foods adjusts product prices according to different
income segments, from High-end to cheap. Vissan focuses on developing a tight and effective distribution
network, while CP Foods focuses on price segmentation strategy to serve all customers well. Although
both have broad distribution and market access strategies, CP Foods stands out for its application of price
segmentation to maintain competition and serve diverse market needs.
Vissan has a strong distribution system both domestically and internationally. Domestically, with 1,000
sales points, 50 showrooms, and 800 agents, the company has a widespread presence and effectively
reaches customers. Vissan products also appear in supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and schools in Hanoi
and Da Nang, helping to increase brand recognition. The dealer model is located 1km apart to help reduce
internal competition and support demand research and promotion programs. Vissan also expands the
international market with a representative office in Cambodia and a distributor in Laos, and exports to
many countries such as Australia, North America, Russia, Germany, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and
Southeast Asia. However, managing a large distribution system can make it difficult to maintain consistent
quality. International expansion requires companies to face cultural challenges, legal regulations and
international competition, leading to high costs and complexity. In addition, although arranging agents
1km apart helps reduce internal competition, dense distribution can still cause unwanted competition
between sales points and affect promotion effectiveness.

to work, while investing in new technology
and techniques to improve work efficiency
and develop the business. These strategies
help Vissan not only grow its business but
also create a professional, engaged and
creative workforce (Vissan, 2023).
Both Vissan and Charoen Pokphand Foods (CP Foods) have human resource strategies focused on
developing capabilities, recruiting and retaining talent, building corporate culture, taking care of welfare
and promoting innovation. Vissan focuses on internal and external training, with a clear promotion path,
and creates a friendly and open working environment. CP Foods invests heavily in skills training and
applies advanced recruitment processes, emphasizing transparency and collaboration. Both offer
competitive compensation, health insurance, social insurance and regular health care. Vissan and CP
Foods both encourage innovation and invest in new technology to improve work efficiency. However,
Vissan may excel in creating a friendly working environment, while CP Foods may be stronger in its
recruitment process and investment in technology. Overall, both companies achieved their goal of building
a professional, engaged and creative workforce, helping them grow their businesses sustainably.
The strength of Vissan's human resources strategy is to focus on employee development through training
and promotion, attracting and retaining talent with attractive remuneration policies, and building a positive
corporate culture with values such as loyalty real and creative. The company offers competitive benefits
and encourages innovation, along with investing in new technology. However, this strategy also has some
weaknesses. The cost of training and developing employees can be high, and companies need to weigh this
investment against the benefits. Retaining talented employees can be difficult in a competitive labor
market. If the performance appraisal and promotion system is unclear, it can lead to dissatisfaction and
lack of motivation. Finally, the pressure from promoting innovation can increase the pressure on
employees, especially if there is not enough support and training to adapt to changes.

Both companies are committed to ensuring food safety, diversifying products, improving customer service,
building a widespread distribution system, applying modern technology and sustainable development.
However, CP Foods has global scale and reach, adheres to higher international standards, and has greater
resources to invest in advanced technology. In contrast, Vissan mainly focuses on the Vietnamese
domestic market, complies with domestic and regional standards, and focuses on sustainable development
suitable to domestic conditions. These strategies help both companies maintain and strengthen their
positions in the food industry, with unique strengths tailored to each target market.
Vissan Company has many strengths in its service strategy, including commitment to high quality and
food safety, product diversification, dedicated customer service, extensive distribution system, and
application of technology. Modern and committed to environmental protection. However, Vissan also
faces a number of weaknesses such as limited scope of operations mainly in the domestic market, smaller
scale and resources compared to international corporations, and difficulty in meeting standards.
internationally, strong domestic competition and limited ability to adapt to market changes. These factors
require Vissan to continuously improve and overcome to maintain and develop sustainably.

to building a positive impression of the
brand. These factors combined not only
strengthen the image and trust of
customers but also help Vissan stand out
from its competitors. (baocaothuongnien,
2022)
The Physical Evidence strategies of Vissan and CP Foods both aim to increase customer awareness and
perception of product quality and value, but each company has its own emphasis. Vissan focuses on
sophisticated packaging design and providing clear information about product quality and origin. At the
point of sale, Vissan arranges products and decorations that reflect brand reputation, while maintaining
professional and friendly customer service. In contrast, CP Foods focuses on eye-catching packaging and
transparency about product origin. The company displays products scientifically and attractively at the
point of sale, synchronizes advertising and marketing with the brand message, and provides professional
and friendly customer service. Both strategies help strengthen image, customer trust and highlight the
brand in the market.
Vissan's Physical Evidence strategy has many strengths, such as sophisticated product packaging and clear
information about quality, creating trust with consumers. Professional product display at the point of sale
and friendly customer service contribute to building a positive impression. However, this strategy also
faces weaknesses such as high investment costs, dependence on supply chain synchronization and limited
accessibility in different regions. Competitors also invest heavily in similar strategies, requiring Vissan to
continuously improve to maintain its advantage.
2. Company Goals
With over 50 years of building its reputation, the VISSAN brand, symbolized by three golden
chrysanthemums, has become a precious symbol and pride of the company. Therefore, protecting and
developing the VISSAN brand is a strategic priority for every member of the company. With a market

IV. Marketing Environment and Operating Market
1. Market analysis
Vissan is currently operating mainly in the field of frozen foods and meat products, where product quality
and safety requirements are very high. This article will analyze the potential, bright spots and some
difficulties in the meat processing industry in Vietnam today (Vissan, 2023).
2. Marketing environment:
a) Client:
Customers are the most important factor in the micro environment Needs and preferences: Changes in
customer needs and preferences directly affect the company, forcing Vissan to develop new product lines
to meet the need.
The increasing demand for clean, safe and organic food is a great opportunity for Vissan to develop new
product lines targeting this target group. This not only helps increase revenue but also strengthens
customer trust, creating a group of customers loyal to the company. The increase in demand for clean food
has created a special customer group, agents and supermarkets. A group of customers has helped the
company expand its market to many different segments, from individual consumers to restaurants, hotels
and schools. The trend of consuming safe, organic food is also increasing in the international market. This
is an opportunity for Vissan to expand exports and access international markets with high quality products.
To make good use of this opportunity, Vissan needs to invest in modern technology and production
processes to ensure products meet high standards of safety and quality. Develop appropriate marketing
strategies to raise customer awareness about the benefits of clean and organic food. Build and strengthen
customer trust through providing high quality and safe products. Compete effectively by creating clearly
differentiated products and maintaining reasonable prices (Vissan, 2023).
b) Supplier:
Suppliers play an important role in providing raw materials for Vissan's production. Raw material quality
and price directly affect product quality and price, so maintaining good relationships with suppliers is
essential to ensure stable and quality supply. Vissan has great opportunities from cooperating with
domestic livestock farms and cooperatives, helping to ensure meat quality and reduce the risk of raw
material shortages. In addition, cooperation with domestic spice manufacturers and international suppliers
ensures variety and high quality of processed products. Vissan also takes advantage of opportunities from
cooperation with domestic and international packaging companies to improve preservation capabilities and
attract customers, while applying modern production technology from domestic and international
suppliers. abroad to improve productivity and product quality. However, managing costs and dependence
on external suppliers is a challenge that Vissan needs to address to make the most of these opportunities
(Vissan, 2023).
c) Competitors:
Vissan is facing great pressure from keeping prices competitive when major competitors such as CPVN
and CP Group can produce at lower costs. In addition, competition in quality and food safety from BaF
requires Vissan to continuously improve production processes to meet high standards. Additionally,
competition from international companies with strong marketing strategies could reduce Vissan is market
share and brand recognition. To maintain and expand its position in the market, Vissan needs to improve
product quality, optimize production processes and invest in effective marketing campaigns (Vissan,
2023).
d) Distributor:
Distributors play an important role in bringing Vissan products to consumers, and the effectiveness of
distribution channels such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and retail agents directly affects their
ability to reach consumers. Vissan is market access. Financial institutions and investors can influence a
company's financial capacity and investment activities, while Vissan's image in the media influences brand
perception and reputation. Good relations with the media help create positivity and trust among the public.
Employees are Vissan's important assets, and our skilled and experienced staff help maintain and improve
product quality and customer service. A positive work environment and strong corporate culture also
improve employee performance and engagement. However, Vissan faces many challenges, including
dependence on the efficiency of distribution channels, pressure from financial institutions and negative
media coverage, as well as maintaining the quality of its resources. human resources and corporate culture.
To overcome these challenges, Vissan needs to build an effective cooperation strategy with distributors,
maintain good relationships with the public and media, and focus on developing the quality of human
resources and corporate culture. strong karma. This will help Vissan not only maintain but also develop its
position in the food industry (Vissan, 2023).
e) Publics:
Vissan uses a variety of channels and methods to increase brand awareness and reach target customers.
Here are some of the company's media activities. In traditional advertising, Vissanhas invested in TV
advertising campaigns during major holidays such as the Lunar New Year to reach older customers while
enhancing brand recognition.
Vissan has also shifted to digital media channels and implemented many advertising campaigns on
Facebook and Google to reach young customers with modern consumer trends. In 2023, social media
campaigns have helped increase traffic to Vissan's website.
In terms of public relations, Vissan organizes events, charity activities, and cooperates with prestigious
organizations. In 2022, Vissan has organized many charity activities such as distributing gifts and
sponsoring scholarships to poor students, creating a good impression and enhancing the company's
reputation. The above examples and figures show that Vissan has been taking advantage of various media
channels to improve its image and reach customers, and at the same time face the unique challenges of
each channel such as cost, high level of competition, and possible media crises (Vissan, 2024).
f) Company:
Human resources play an extremely important role in the company, directly affecting the work
performance, sustainable development and competitiveness of the business. Here are some analyses of
Vissan's organization and people.
In 2023, there will be no change in the members of the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Board and the
Executive Board. But the number of employees decreased from 4,351 people (2021) to 3,791 people
(2023) and the average income also decreased from 10.05 million VND (2021) to 7.21 million VND
(2023). In terms of qualifications, unskilled workers account for the largest proportion (31.60% in 2023).
Indefinite-term contracts account for the majority (83.96% in 2023). The ratio of men and women is
almost balanced, with men accounting for 53.84% and women accounting for 46.16% in 2023.
In terms of policies, the company organizes professional training programs, soft skills, and activities to
improve management skills. At the same time, carry out training and inspection of occupational safety
according to regulations, carry out training and inspection of occupational safety according to regulations,
ensure a safe working environment and good occupational hygiene. The company also promotes
recruitment policies and develops policies to retain and develop talents, with various supports and benefits
such as mid-shift meals, gas bills, telephones, birthday gifts, annual travel, and periodic health checkups.
Through the above analysis, it can be seen that Vissan is making efforts to improve the quality of human
resources through training and welfare policies, but also faces difficulties due to the decline in the number
of employees and average income, which affects the productivity and ability to meet the company's
production needs as well as affects work motivation and employee satisfaction. It poses a challenge for the
company when it is necessary to take measures to compensate and improve the income of employees,
thereby retaining and attracting talent in the context of a volatile labor market (Vissan, 2023).
a) Economy:
In 2023, Vietnam's economy will witness a growth rate of only 5.05%, lower than the target of 6.5% set by
the National Assembly. Slow economic development has reduced people's purchasing power and income,
negatively affecting Vissan's operations. Due to inflation and high interest rates, the company's input costs,
energy, transportation, and labor costs increased. This leads to pressure to increase product prices,
reducing consumer purchasing power and possibly causing Vissan's revenue to decrease. Key challenges
include decreasing consumer purchasing power, rising production costs, and the need to maintain profit
margins amid fierce competition. To cope, Vissan needs to effectively manage costs, innovate products
and adjust pricing strategies to maintain competitiveness and sustainable development (Vissan, 2023).
b) Politics:
VISSAN, a joint stock company listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange, must comply with many legal
regulations such as the Enterprise Law, Securities Law, and International Trade Law, while also
implementing safety regulations. food safety and environmental protection. The Company also conducts
international transactions in US Dollars, which may pose risks from exchange rate fluctuations. However,
VISSAN has many opportunities to develop. A clear and stable legal framework can help companies
operate more efficiently and reduce legal risks, while preferential government policies such as tax
reductions can support business expansion. Compliance with food safety regulations not only helps
improve product quality and create consumer trust, but also ensures a fair competitive playing field. In
addition, participating in international trade and free trade agreements (FTAs) creates opportunities for
VISSAN to expand its market and increase revenue from exports with preferential tax rates. Therefore,
VISSAN should take advantage of these opportunities to develop business, improve product quality and
increase profits (Vissan, 2023).
c) Culture:
Culture deeply affects Vissan is business operations, opening up many opportunities and challenges. The
main opportunity is to take advantage of family values in Vietnam to develop convenient and nutritious
products for family meals, while expanding the product portfolio for children and the elderly. In addition,
the demand for traditional foods during festivals creates conditions for Vissan to increase sales through
typical products such as sausages and spring rolls. Current consumer trends are also shifting to safe and
healthy products, encouraging Vissan to develop clean and organic products. With the increasing demand
for vegetarian food from Buddhists, Vissan has the opportunity to expand its vegetarian product portfolio.
Finally, effective use of media to promote products and participate in social activities helps build a
positive brand image. However, Vissan needs to focus on understanding and respecting cultural values,
innovating products according to consumer trends, enhancing effective communication and ensuring food
quality and safety to maintain competition and development. sustainable development (Vissan, 2023).
d) Society:
Social factors bring both opportunities and challenges to Vissan. Changes in consumer trends such as the
preference for healthy foods may cause Vissan to adjust its product portfolio, competing with companies
that have adapted faster. African swine fever (ASF), especially from August until now, has increased costs
and reduced pig supply, seriously affecting the livestock industry and reducing consumer confidence in
pork. On the contrary, population growth and income changes create opportunities for Vissan to expand
products and improve quality. To take advantage of opportunities and deal with challenges, Vissan needs
to be flexible in product development, market research and improving marketing strategies (Vissan, 2023).
e) Nature:
VISSAN strictly complies with legal regulations on environmental protection and invests in new
technology to treat waste and wastewater to reduce pollution. In 2023, the company used 13,713,183 kWh
of electricity, 14,599 tons of steam, 128,025 liters of FO oil and 21,638 liters of DO oil. These efforts not
only help VISSAN enhance its reputation and brand image, but also create conditions for the company to
attract loyal customers, who increasingly prioritize businesses that protect the environment. Investing in
energy-efficient technology reduces operating costs and improves business efficiency, while sustainable
resource management supports long-term operations. Furthermore, regulatory compliance helps minimize
legal risks and build good relationships with state regulatory agencies. Although investing in waste
treatment technology requires great costs and effort, the benefits in terms of reputation, economic
efficiency and sustainability are well worth it. VISSAN needs to continue to improve environmental
protection measures and take advantage of sustainable development opportunities to build a positive brand
image (Vissan, 2023).
e) Demographic trends:
Vietnam is one of the countries with the fastest population aging rate in the world. People aged 60 and
over accounted for 11.9% of the total population in 2019 and by 2050, this number will increase to more
than 25%. By 2036, Vietnam will enter an aging population period. This puts pressure on the social
protection system and health services. The number of pensioners increased while the contributing
workforce decreased, leading to the risk of shortages of pension funds and social insurance. Living support
costs for older adults, including the cost of home care, medical care, and other social services. These put
pressure on national and individual health budgets (UNFPA Viet Nam , 2024).
The process of urbanization is also taking place strongly, with the proportion of the urban population at
37.55% of the country's population in 2022, equivalent to the whole country having 37.4 million people
living in cities. It is forecasted that by 2040, more than half of Vietnam's population will reside in urban
areas, reaching 57.3% by 2050. The increase in urban population creates opportunities for urban
development, increasing investment in urban infrastructure and public services. At the same time, it helps
expand business, services, and technology activities in big cities. Along with that is the challenge of losing
the development gap between urban and rural areas. At the same time, it puts pressure on infrastructure,
transportation, and the environment (OpenDevelopmentVietnam, 2024).
The birth rate in Vietnam is gradually decreasing, from 2.01 in 2022 to about 1.95 in 2023 (according to
the Population Department of Vietnam). This leads to a decrease in the number of young people
participating in the labor market in the future, which can lead to increased job pressure and a decrease in
the likelihood of career development. Due to labor shortages, businesses and countries may compete more
fiercely to attract workers, leading to higher labor recruitment costs when importing labor from other
countries. The younger generation also has to bear a greater financial burden, the pressure to take care of
both young children and the elderly at the same time (Vietnam.net, 2024).
