In reality, there is no fixed price. The cost depends on the company’s size, industry, and the current state of its management system.

1. How much does HACCP cost? (Updated 2026)

The total HACCP implementation cost typically ranges from VND 30 million to VND 120 million, depending on the company’s size, process complexity, and the current status of its system when adopting HACCP standards.

This cost generally covers all core activities, including system consulting and development, staff training, practical implementation guidance, and support throughout the audit process to achieve certification, including assessment and certification issuance.
