In this study, Vietnamese households’ expenditure on dairy products for home consumption is analyzed using the latest Vietnamese Household Living Standard Survey datasets from 2010. A double-hurdle model is utilized to analyze the effects of socio-economic and demographic variables on Vietnamese households’ decision to purchase dairy products and how much to spend per capita on these items. Our results suggest that several socio-economic and demographic variables affect household expenditure on dairy products. In particular, young and old household members increase dairy expenditures. The results may help policy makers to implement policies related to the dairy industry, to nutrition for children and older people, to health and food security.
