More than 300 producers and exporters of Halal products joined the seminar presided by Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Chutima Boonyaprapat and a representative from the Office of the Sheikhul Islam of Thailand, Prasarn Sricharoen.
In 2014, Thailand exported Halal food products worth over US$6 billion to Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt. The top exports were rice, sugar, canned and processed seafood, and canned and processed fruit. Thailand aims to become one of the top five exporters of Halal products by 2020.
The DITP reveals that it has promoted exports of Halal food products from Thailand by joining in tradeshows, organising delegates to negotiate with importers in Muslim countries and organised activities to promote the image of Thai Halal food.
