Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025: The Biggest International F&B Exhibition in Vietnam
Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 has a scaled up to 1,400 booths featuring 1,000 enterprises from 20 countries and territories, opening opportunities for investment promotion and enhancing sustainable trade cooperation.
At this exhibition, VINEXAD Company, the organiser, serves as a crucial bridge, connecting domestic and international brands, enabling them to showcase superior, market-competitive products.
Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 is projected to host more than 30,000 professional visitors, alongside thousands of attendees to explore and experience.
F&B Vietnam – The potential market for foreign businesses
In recent years, rising living standards have led Vietnamese consumers to prioritise self-care and indulgence, promoting strong growth in the food and beverage (F&B) industry.
According to ipos.vn, the revenue of the F&B industry in Vietnam in 2024 reached about VND688.8 trillion, an increase of 16.6 per cent compared to 2023 (equivalent to more than US$25 billion); with an average growth rate of 7-10 per cent/year in the period 2019-2024, F&B emerged as one of the economy’s vital sectors.
In addition to domestic F&B brands leading the market, foreign businesses also have ample room for expansion in the country, especially as Vietnam’s participation in numerous major trade agreements, help to reduce import taxes on food and F&B ingredients.
This significantly benefits domestic consumers, offering them opportunity to access quality imported products at reasonable prices, such as drinks sourced from Japan, Korea, Europe, alongside organic foods, confectionery, milk, processed meat and many other products.
According to Ipos.vn, Vietnam has the densest F&B market in Southeast Asia (1 store/300 people) with approximately 323,010 stores. A 2024 survey by Coc Coc reveals that, up to 32 per cent of consumers tend to eat at F&B restaurant chains whenever the need arises; notably Gen Z (18-26 years old) accounts for 58 per cent (Vietnam Demographic Report 2024, General Statistics Office).
Given this trend, Vietnam is considered a fertile land for the franchise model, contributing to the widespread proliferation of international branded restaurants, food and beverage chains.
However, to operate effectively, F&B businesses still have to import a large amount of raw materials such as milk, powder, bottled drinks, high-quality snacks, cheese, cold cuts, etc., requiring domestic distributors to seek international partners to provide high-quality products at reasonable prices.
Conversely, foreign businesses wishing to approach the Vietnamese F&B market also need to prioritise cooperation with reputable distributors with strong logistics capabilities.
To realise this, Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 serves as the ideal platform for domestic and international businesses to connect, fostering long-term cooperation agreements and ensuring mutual benefits.
Vietfood & Beverage – Propack Vietnam 2025 – Opportunities for breakthrough and integration

A Response to a Changing Regulatory Environment
Singapore’s corporate sustainability environment has undergone a major transformation in recent years. What began as voluntary corporate social responsibility is now transitioning into a regulated requirement driven by new disclosure mandates. The Singapore Exchange (SGX) requires all listed companies to publish sustainability reports, with climate-related disclosures to be aligned with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework.
These developments mirror global trends, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the proposed climate disclosure rules by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Notably, these frameworks are influencing supply chains and investment decisions worldwide.
A Commitment to Rigorous Standards and Responsible Practice
The certification was issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) under the Professional Certification in Sustainability Assurance programme, which focuses on the International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA 5000). The curriculum also covers key frameworks, such as ISAE 3000, ISO 14064-3, and the reporting principles set out by the Sustainability Reporting Advisory Committee (SRAC).
Participants undergo six months of structured e-learning and a three-day capstone assessment module, which includes a comprehensive 65-question examination. The programme integrates the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and other global reporting standards.
“The certification demonstrates our firm’s dedication to professional rigour and to supporting Singapore’s transition toward a sustainable, transparent economy,” as revealed by Ethan Ong, Director of Credo Assurance. “We aim to strengthen stakeholder confidence and enhance the quality of ESG reporting.”
New Sustainability Assurance Services to Support Businesses Across Sectors
Building on this certification, Credo Assurance has launched its sustainability assurance service. The firm will provide assurance on ESG disclosures, assess internal data controls, and advise on alignment with recognised frameworks such as GRI, ISSB, TCFD, and SASB. In addition, the service covers climate audit and reporting, ESG data verification, and training programmes to help companies integrate sustainability practices into daily operations.
Credo Assurance’s new offering aims to support a wide spectrum of organisations, from listed companies preparing for upcoming SGX requirements to SMEs participating in global supply chains. Industries with significant environmental or social footprints, such as energy, construction, manufacturing, transport, and real estate, are expected to benefit most from independent verification. These services also extend to firms seeking ESG-linked financing or those aiming to enhance their brand credibility and investor trust through transparent reporting.
Shaping the Future of ESG Assurance in Singapore
As Singapore moves toward mandatory climate-related disclosures in 2025, ESG assurance is set to become essential in the audit and accounting sector. Independent verification of non-financial information, such as carbon emissions, labour practices, or governance metrics, helps ensure sustainability reports present accountable and measurable performance.
“ESG assurance is the next evolution of trust in business reporting,” said Mr Ong. “It applies the principles of audit integrity to sustainability, enabling companies to demonstrate both their financial performance and their broader responsibility to society and the environment.”

Understanding Credit Exemptions at SIM: A Guide for Polytechnic and SIM GE Diploma Graduates
Understanding Credit Exemptions
Credit exemptions enable students to receive recognition for modules previously completed during prior studies. This eliminates the need to repeat similar content, allowing eligible students to focus on new areas of learning. This practice, widely adopted in higher education, ensures students build upon existing knowledge while meeting the academic standards of their chosen degree programme.
Eligibility and Assessment
Credit exemptions at SIM GE are not granted automatically. Each application undergoes a rigorous evaluation to maintain academic integrity. The assessment considers several factors, including the relevance of previous qualifications to the chosen degree, the level and content of prior modules compared to the programme requirements, and the accreditation and recognition of the awarding institution. Through these measures, SIM GE ensures flexibility for students with diverse educational backgrounds while upholding academic excellence.
Types of Exemptions Available
SIM offers several pathways for credit exemptions, depending on prior qualifications and programme requirements. Holders of relevant Polytechnic or equivalent diplomas may receive exemptions that can reduce the overall study duration by up to one year, subject to programme-specific criteria and GPA requirements. Students who have completed SIM GE diplomas or other recognized qualifications may be eligible for advanced standing when enrolling in selected partner university programmes offered through SIM Global Education. For applicants with qualifications outside standard frameworks, exemptions are assessed individually on a case-by-case basis to ensure alignment with academic standards and programme requirements.
Key Information for Applicants
Credit exemptions are designed to acknowledge prior learning while ensuring that all students meet the academic standards of their chosen programme. They are not guaranteed and vary based on factors such as the relevance of previous qualifications, programme requirements, and institutional recognition. Applicants are encouraged to review the specific exemption policies for their intended programme and seek guidance from SIM Counsellors to understand their options.
