Patricia Marques, general manager of Starbucks Vietnam How tough is the coffee competition in Vietnam this year and how do you expect things to pan out moving into next year for your company? Competition is up there. We have plenty of competitors and there are an enormous number of players in the market, although not necessarily competing in the same arena. Although we may all be coffee brands, some brands are more skewed towards teas or fruit drinks. So in the coffee arena, we find that there is plenty of competition and in the next few years, we will probably continue to see even more than now, considering that many international players are not yet in Vietnam.

In my role, I have no participation in the sourcing or the buying of Starbucks Coffee for the world. However, as a company, we try to be as close as … [Read more...] about Starbucks CSR initiatives gather pace
