Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL) and other Vietnamese companies are experiencing severe financial distress. HAGL Agrico has reported accumulated losses exceeding 13,200 billion VND, leading auditors to issue warnings regarding its ability to continue operations. Thaco, led by Trần Bá Dương, is identified as the firm’s largest creditor.

Specific challenges for HAGL include its pig farming division, which has faced significant gross losses. In the first half of 2026, the division reported a gross loss of approximately 30 billion VND. This follows a broader downward trend from 2025, where the company saw a 79% drop in pig sales revenue. HAGL attributes these agricultural losses to high feed prices, competition from imported pork, and the impact of African Swine Fever. The company is currently focusing on rebuilding its herds rather than expanding facilities.

Other Vietnamese entities are also facing instability, with SCommerce reporting a 94% decrease in profits and Giao Hàng Nhanh seeing an 85% increase in debt.
