Prodezi Partners with Swiss Asia Partner SA to Implement Be Milk Project, Promoting High-Quality FDI into Tay Ninh

April 9, 2026 - Prodezi Long An Joint Stock Company (Prodezi), in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, convened a working session between an international investor delegation led by Swiss Asia Partner SA (Switzerland) and the leadership of Tay Ninh Province. The event also marked a significant milestone in advancing the development of the Be Milk manufacturing plant at Prodezi Industrial Park. The meeting was held at the headquarters of the Tay Ninh Provincial People’s Committee, with the participation of provincial leaders, the Economic Zone Authority, and representatives from relevant departments and agencies.

The international delegation included Swiss Asia Partner SA, diplomatic representatives, the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and enterprises involved across the project’s technology and value chain.

During the session, participants discussed Tay Ninh’s investment environment, industrial development orientation, and the implementation roadmap for the Be Milk dairy manufacturing project, in which Swiss Asia Partner SA acts as both investor and market developer. The project is structured through a partnership and franchise agreement with Sodiaal Group (France)— the owner of the Candia brand—thereby integrating European production and quality standards. On this occasion, a land reservation agreement between Swiss Asia Partner SA and Prodezi was also signed, marking a key step forward in the project’s investment preparation and development process.

Mr. Truong Khac Nguyen Minh shared Prodezi’s vision for modern industrial infrastructure development and the company's commitment to supporting international investors

The event takes place as Tay Ninh continues to strengthen its position as a leading investment destination in Southern Vietnam. In 2025, the province ranked among the top 10 most attractive localities for large-scale enterprises, with newly registered and adjusted foreign direct investment (FDI) totaling USD 1.7 billion. This strong performance is underpinned by ample industrial land availability, continuously improving regional connectivity, and a strategic focus on high value-added manufacturing industries. At the same time, global FDI flows are increasingly shifting toward projects aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. Tay Ninh’s well-prepared investment infrastructure positions the province to effectively capture this trend and enhance its competitive advantage.

From a market perspective, Vietnam’s dairy sector continues to demonstrate robust growth. According to IMARC Group, the country’s dairy market is projected to reach USD 13.37 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% over the 2025-2033 period. Amid rising domestic demand and constrained local supply, the dairy processing industry presents significant opportunities for technologically advanced, internationally standardized projects such as Be Milk.

Mr. Philippe Phan Van Ho affirmed the long-term partnership with Prodezi to implement an international-standard dairy manufacturing model in the locality

The Be Milk manufacturing plant is expected to require total investment capital of approximately USD 100 million and will be developed in two phases. A key highlight is the application of advanced European-standard technologies, supported by a strong network of international partners, including Sodiaal Group (France), IPEM Group (France), Tetra Pak (Sweden), and Takenaka Corporation (Japan).

Mr. Philippe Phan Van Ho, CEO of Swiss Asia Partner SA, commented: “Selecting an investment location is not solely based on market potential, but also on the ability to meet long-term operational standards. Tay Ninh offers clear development potential in food processing, while Prodezi Industrial Park provides a suitable platform for us to execute the project with an orientation toward efficiency, stability, and sustainability.”

Representatives of Prodezi and Swiss Asia Partner SA signed the Be Milk project agreement, witnessed by Tay Ninh provincial leaders and international diplomatic and investment delegations

This alignment is reflected in the project’s ability to integrate seamlessly into the ESG-oriented infrastructure of Prodezi Industrial Park. Wastewater systems are designed to meet environmental standards prior to connection to centralized treatment facilities, while energy efficiency and resource optimization solutions are embedded to support long-term operational performance. Furthermore, Prodezi’s industrial symbiosis model enables integration with related manufacturing activities, fostering a circular and sustainable production ecosystem.

Mr. Truong Khac Nguyen Minh, Deputy General Director of Prodezi Long An, stated: “From the outset, Prodezi has pursued an eco-centric industrial park model, with infrastructure development aligned to ESG standards and industrial symbiosis principles. This approach has demonstrated strong compatibility with the requirements of international investors. Swiss Asia Partner SA’s decision to implement its project at Prodezi is a positive signal, underscoring the broader investment potential of Tay Ninh. Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance our sustainable industrial ecosystem to better meet global investor standards and expand partnerships with international stakeholders.”

Prodezi’s eco-oriented industrial infrastructure serves as a foundation for attracting high-quality FDI inflows

Once operational, the Be Milk plant is expected to enhance Vietnam’s domestic dairy processing capacity through the transfer of European technologies and quality management practices. It will also strengthen value chain linkages from raw materials to distribution.

At the provincial level, the project is anticipated to generate employment, contribute to fiscal revenues, and add a high value-added manufacturing component aligned with Tay Ninh’s strategy to attract high-quality FDI and promote sustainable industrial development.
