CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
(continued)

Specifically, we have established clear goals for the growth of each business unit as outlined below:

FOR THE OIL AND BUTTER BUSINESS UNIT

Cooking oil (Retail channel)

As previously mentioned, 2024 is expected to pose continued economic challenges. Within the oil business unit,
intense competition for market share among multinational corporations persists, alongside ongoing fluctuations
in market purchasing power and exchange rates. Nevertheless, with 47 years of market presence and a strong
reputation, the Tuong An oil business unit remains the Group’s core revenue-generating unit. It remains a dominant
presence in the essential food sector, solidifying its crucial role in our business operations.

Butter

Continuously research and innovate to create new products that cater to various consumer needs, spanning FOR THE OIL AND BUTTER BUSINESS UNIT
from cooking and baking to direct consumption. Our development and expansion strategies are anchored in our
longstanding commitment to being recognized as “Vietnam’s No. 1 Butter” over the past 11 years. Cooking oil (Commercial, industrial and export channels)

Vocarimex will continue in executing its business model transformation roadmap aligned with the Group’s direction set
since 2023. This involves ramping up investment efforts, with a particular focus on pursuing and executing M&A deals.
Concurrently, efforts will be made to optimize organizational structures, enhancing competitiveness to establish a strong
foothold and laying the groundwork for future development strategies and strategic vision.

FOR THE SPICE BUSINESS UNIT

As Tuong An and KIDO strive to solidify their leading positions in the oil business unit, they pursue a strategy
of diversifying into multiple business units and fostering holistic growth. Embracing ambitious aspirations,
symbolized by the Dream brand in Vietnamese cuisine culture, they have recently ventured into the spice business
unit, introducing new products such as fish sauce and seasoning powder. This marks a significant milestone in
their journey towards realizing their aspirations.

Following its successful launch in the South in December 2023, the business unit expanded nationwide in March
2024 due to positive feedback and strong sales performance. We will continue to gather market feedback
and refine our existing product portfolio to achieve widespread penetration across the industry nationwide.
Moreover, leveraging the core strengths of the oil business unit and our advantage of 450,000 points of sale
in the essential food sector, Tuong An will introduce new product lines focusing on three categories: essential
spices, convenient seasonings, and dry foods. This strategic move aims to facilitate easy access to points of
sales, reduce operational costs, and offer consumers a diverse range of products to choose from.

from 44.5% to 47.6%. Specifically, the Merino brand contributed 25.9%, while Celano accounted for 19.6% (*).
FOR THE BAKERY BUSINESS UNIT
Building on the successes of 2023 and 2024, our primary focus will be on market expansion and broadening
distribution channels to reach new customers. We aim to widen the gap in market share with competitors,
The bakery business unit remains a cornerstone of the Group’s growth, representing a key business area for maintaining our leadership position in the business unit. This will be achieved through targeted strategies:
many years. Within just two years of re-entering the market, we have successfully established new standards for
consumers with our “Fashionable Enjoyment” bakery products. Additionally, we are actively exploring potential
