01 Apr 2023  |  www.ft.com
The article discusses the rise of Vingroup, Vietnam's largest private company, and its ambitious project to create VinFast, the country's first national car brand. Vingroup, led by Vietnam's richest man Pham Nhat Vuong, has expanded from real estate into various sectors, including retail, education, healthcare, and technology. The conglomerate's rapid growth and integration into Vietnamese life raise questions about its influence and the potential risks of overextension. The article also explores the relationship between private companies like Vingroup and the Vietnamese government, highlighting concerns about the lack of checks and balances in a single-party state. Instances of critics facing police intervention and the disappearance of negative news reports suggest a troubling dynamic between the company, the state, and freedom of expression. The article provides a comprehensive look at Vingroup's impact on Vietnam's economy, society, and governance.

How Vietnam Brought Science and Agricultural Markets Closer Together

19 Jan 2023  |  World Bank
The World Bank's Autonomous Higher Education Project (SAHEP) in Vietnam is helping to enhance the connection between university research and market needs, particularly in agriculture. The Hanoi University of Science and Technology and the Vietnam National University of Agriculture are key participants. A focus area is the development of high-value, climate-resilient agricultural products like honey. Despite Vietnam being a significant honey exporter, domestic consumers prefer imported honey, and quality issues have been raised due to practices like adulteration. Associate Professor Pham Hong Thai is leading efforts to improve honey quality through techniques like double brood boxes and a beekeeping monitoring system that tracks various metrics and helps beekeepers get better prices. With SAHEP's support, VNUA aims to further enhance honey quality and market value through advanced research and diagnostics.

The article discusses the conditions of workers in honeycomb coal processing plants along the Red River in Ha Noi, Vietnam. These plants have been operating since the 1990s, but with the rise of gas-powered and electric cookers, their popularity has declined.
