The DITP will organise a Thailand Halal Pavilion at the Guangzhou International Food and Ingredients Fair 2015 (GIFMS), China from June 11 to 14.

The department aims to raise the global ranking of Thai Halal businesses from its current 13th position to enter the top five by 2020.

“The department will emphasise three categories – food, clothes, and cosmetics and spa products – by focusing on building brand image, research and innovation to support new forms of Halal products, encouraging Thai business operators to meet with universal standards in manufacturing as well as selling and providing services before exporting to international markets,” said DITP Director-General Nuntawan Sakuntanaga.

The DITP projects that the total export value of Halal products will reach US$6,100 million in 2015, a 5.1 % growth, she added.
