Visiting the instant noodle factory program was operated by Acecook Vietnam Joint Stock Company from mid-2013 to now has welcomed more than 2,000 students. We had a meeting with Ms. Nguyen Hong Hanh – external relation manager about the idea of implementing this program.

Can you share the idea of organizing a Visiting factory tour for student?

Besides that, the most interesting part is the interaction with management committee of the company about experience and working skills as well as sharing about future career. It is a practical and helpful lesson which is very necessary for students who are studying at school. Interaction with students is a chance for us to hear student’s opinion – smart consumers. Some idea and suggestion are very good, new and breakthrough of them are precious information which we record and researched. Ms Nguyen Hong Hanh: Acecook Vietnam with many programs along with students such as National university exam consultant, Green summer, scholarship for student in difficult circumstance, student TV show, etc. Getting closer to students, we realize that students need more opportunity to contact businesses in order to get more practical knowledge, not only the thory a school. We invite students to Acecook Vietnam not only visiting the factory in order to understand more about the production process but also providing information and evaluating in the right way about instant noodle value, helping students assuring when using this kinds of product which are very familiar with student’s life.

What is the detail of Information for evaluating in the right way about instant noodles which you just mentioned above?

Ms Nguyen Hong Hanh: at the interaction part of this program, we receive many questions and concerns of students about instant noodles such as: the effect when eating noodle, nutrition ingredients, oil using for frying noodle is hot or not, etc. All of concerns above are shared and directed in detail in order to help students having more accurate information about this product.

Hence, we can see that judgement about instant noodle just same as a product which has not high value and only solve the fast and cheap problem. However, in general, currently in the market instant noodle has developed in the trend of diversity of flavour, price level, abundant nutrition and can replace main meal, food hygiene and safety assurance… Besides that, instant noodle has high social impact since it can be considered as the fastest and most effective product when natural disaster, flood and typhoon happen. The development of instant noodle industry will also impact on the development of other industries such as flour, cooking oil, packaging, etc.

Can you let us know the initial result and the next plan?

Ms. Nguyen Hong Hanh: Opening factory to welcome student program is a long-nurtured idea and contains some worries. After a long and careful preparation with the practical meaning, from the beginning of this program, we receive lots of concerns and supports from the schools and students. From the beginning of this year to present, Acecook Vietnam has welcomed more than 2,000 students to visit, including universities in and outside of Ho Chi Minh City like Lam Dong, Dong Nai, Binh duong, etc. and the registration number is increasing day by day. The good news is that 95% of students highly evaluate the program about helpfulness, interestingness and good impression. As a result, we try to increase the amount of factory visiting tour, expand and execute in our entire factory and continue to develop the program for other objects such as student, housewife, and distribution channel.

Through this interview, I represent for Vina Acecook to say thanks to universities who concern and along with us in this program.
