The Retail and Food and Beverage (F&B) industry is one of the most vulnerable sectors to the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, although Vietnam is a country with good control of the pandemic, the continuous effects of Covid-19 outbreak still cannot be avoided.

Since the first outbreak, Retail and F&B industries have fallen into a state of shock, surprise, and passivity, which has had a serious impact on business operations. According to statistics, in 2020 there are more than 100,000 businesses withdrawing from the market, 13 times as many as the same period in 2019.
After a quiet period, from the end of April 2021, the pandemic broke out again among the community. The consequences existing in the previous Covid-19 wave in the Retail and F&B industry in Vietnam have not been recovered, yet businesses have had to face a new wave.
Due to the prolonged impact of Covid-19 pandemic, more than 8,000 businesses operating in the Retail and F&B sectors left the market just in the first 3 months of the year. This number has increased by 24.5% over the same period in 2020, which is at an alarming risky rate for businesses operating in the field.

In fact, the situation is still protracted and complicated in the immediate future. Therefore, if Retail and F&B businesses do not have reasonable response measures to adapt to the new situation, they will be like a “candle in the wind”, standing on the brink of recession and dissolution. Every business is faced with how to take timely actions to maintain operations and adapt to the new context. In that situation, many Vietnamese enterprises have had quick responses, bringing practical results.
