Nestlé Vietnam and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on sustainable agriculture, climate action, and capacity building. This agreement strengthens Nestlé’s role as a strategic development partner in supporting Vietnam’s socio-economic and environmental goals. The company has invested over $900 million in Vietnam over the past decades, with a focus on sustainable farming, climate action, and innovation.
Nestlé Vietnam works with over 20,000 smallholder coffee farmers, providing training on regenerative practices to reduce environmental impact and improve yields. The company has also partnered with institutions to support crop breeding, plantlet distribution, and applied research. Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of Nestlé Vietnam’s operations, from sourcing high-quality coffee beans to implementing efficient production processes.
The MoU aligns Nestlé’s activities with national climate and sustainability objectives, focusing on emissions reduction, sustainable agriculture, and transitioning toward a circular economy. The company has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and is accelerating the adoption of regenerative food systems at scale.
Nestlé Vietnam is also committed to building capacity and investing in people and future skills. The company has partnered with technical universities to support agricultural students with hands-on training in modern agricultural methods and digital tools. This initiative aims to address the critical challenge of retaining young talent in agriculture and make farming a viable and attractive career path.
The company’s factories in Vietnam are among the most efficient in the world for coffee processing, reflecting its commitment to operational excellence and global competitiveness. Nestlé Vietnam’s investments generate economic impact beyond its business, supporting GDP growth, creating jobs, and enhancing rural development.
The MoU with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and ongoing collaborations with farmers, universities, and research institutes exemplify Nestlé Vietnam’s integrated, long-term vision. By combining sustainable agriculture, climate action, human capital development, and economic investment, Nestlé ensures its success contributes to broader societal goals. The company’s commitment to Vietnam remains steadfast, with a focus on investing in today and tomorrow, and working closely with the government, local communities, and youth to contribute to a sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future.
