Vietnam has a very high demand for plastic, using about 3.9 million tons of PET, LDPE, HDPE, and PP plastics per year[1], leading to a large amount of disposal. However, only a few amounts have been recycled. As shown in Figure 1, the number of recycled plastic waste in some ASEAN countries in general, and Vietnam in particular is still limited.
Mr. Tsuno Motonori (currently a senior advisor of B&Company, former chief representative of JICA in Vietnam) gave a speech about “Assessment of Japanese ODA to Vietnam and challenges”
In Vietnam, Japanese health supplement products are quite familiar to the Vietnamese people with many brands and an increasing volume of imports each year. However, products from markets such as Singapore and the United States still dominate compared to those from other markets.
Japan used to rank first in terms of FDI in Vietnam, however, in recent years, Japan has been overtaken by South Korea and China is closing in behind. By using B&Company's database, we analyzed the presence of Japanese companies in Vietnam in term of revenue and revenue performance relative to the amount invested. The results showed that Japan was lagging behind other countries such as South Korea, Singapore, and China in their presence in Vietnam
