Vinamilk General Director Mai Kieu Lien said its market share has hit 58 percent, up 1 percent each year. Last year, it rose by 2 percent, nearly doubling the target.

Sales of traditional products such as milk powder and fresh milk grew as planned while new products such as milk with less sugar, walnut soya milk and organic milk have also been put up on the market.

Shareholders voted yes to a plan to issue additional one share to each one owning five shares, with a total less than 290.3 million shares.

Vinamilk’s chartered capital is expected to increase by 2.903 trillion VND to 17.415 trillion VND.

The meeting elected Alain Xavier Cany, chief representative and Chairman of Jardine Matheson Limited in Vietnam and Nguyen Chi Thanh, Deputy General Director of the State Capital Investment Corporation to the Board of Directors.
