IDP has also released information that Howard Holding PTE managed byVinaCapital sold a 28 percent stake in IDP to decrease its ownership to 26 percent.At present, this investment fund and relevant parties are holding 37 percentstake.
Previously, in December 2014, VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund and Japan'sDaiwa PI Partners invested approximately 45 million USD to take a 70 percentstake in IDP.

Established in 2001, Hanoimilk used to be a major player in the dairy industryin Vietnam, thriving the most in 2006-07 period thanks to the IZZI milk brand.However, the melamine incident in 2008 and ineffective out-of-industryinvestments caused the business to suffer heavy losses, and were furtheroutstripped by big rivals. The company has returned to be profitable in thelast two years.
Experts from SSI Research stated that the domestic dairy products were lessaffected by COVID-19 than fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) products.
However, milk demand of low-income consumers could still be affected andaverage selling prices will not increase in 2021, said SSI Research.
Although domestic brands are dominating the market, SSI Research forecastscompetition from foreign brands will become stiffer as the EVFTA will removetariffs on European dairy products in the coming years./.
