  • Vietnamese Youth in Contemporary Hanoi
    ISSN 1653-2244 INSTITUTIONEN FÖR KULTURANTROPOLOGI OCH ETNOLOGI DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY Changing food choices in a changing city: Vietnamese youth in contemporary Hanoi By Tommi Helmisaari 2015 MASTERUPPSATSER I KULTURANTROPOLOGI Nr 57 2 ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the changing society and how the urban setting affects how and where people spend their time socializing and eating. The city of Hanoi has undergone changes, which have had an impact on people’s movements, consumption choices and street traders’ livelihood in the city. There are also issues with housing that have arisen, mainly because the city’s expanding growth. The youth of today are living in quite a different social context society than their parents and especially grandparents, due to economic reforms that have rapidly increased the foreign investment and flow of information from the outside world. This has led to some diverging and sometimes conflicting opinions arising from people of different ages possibly having other ideals and values than their parents and grandparents. The state ideals and global influences also affect people’s behaviour and opinions and food choices. I will describe the food scene and changes that have happened to it, due to foreign influences and trade. This study is mainly based on secondary sources, combined with a case study of young people’s eating out food choices based upon my own fieldwork in Hanoi, Vietnam from February to April, 2013. I will situate and contextualize what part food plays for the youths and exploring the difference between street food and fast food and why people would choose one over the other.

  • KINH DO CORPORATION (KDC) May 12, 2015
    KINH DO CORPORATION (KDC) May 12, 2015 COMPANY UPDATE BRIEFS KDC and Sewong to establish a manufacturing plant to increase capacity. On May 12, Kinh Do Corporation (KDC-HSX) and Saigon Vewong officially signed a contract to establish a manufacturing plant in Bac Ninh industrial zone with an initial investment of USD30 million. KDC will contribute 49 percent of the joint venture, with the remainder held by the Taiwanese company, which is a well-known instant noodles producer. In November 2014, KDC entered a partnership with Saigon Vewong to launch a new instant noodle product - “Dai Gia Dinh” brand. The competitive advantage of the deal will be the Taiwanese company’s experience and sizeable distribution network, combined with the local taste of KDC. The plant’s capacity is planned to reach six million packets per year, to be be raised to 12 million packets in 2017. The schedule for product development will be: 1) instant noodles and condiments 2) porridge and pho 3) convenience foods 4) sauces KDC and Saigon Vewong intend to expand to the Middle and South of the country, and eventually to the West. We note that KDC’s products are quite similar to those of Masan Consumer; KDC may therefore need further product research and development in order to compete in this market. KDC closed today at VND41,000/share (down 0.5 percent), trading at a P/E of 18.5x and a P/B of 1.6x. www.VPBS.com.vn Page | 1 CONTACT INFORMATION For further information regarding this report, please contact the following members of the VPBS research department: Barry David
