More Asian sweets come to Vietnam

Some confectionery brands from Asian countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand have recently emerged in Vietnam supermarkets with reasonable prices and appetizing flavors.

While domestic confectionery manufacturers have been increasing prices, an average price of VND25-35,000 (US$1-1.5) per pack of imported sweets are an attractive alternative.

Only in the first quarter of 2011, confectionery firms have imported $46 million worth of confectionery and cereal products, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
