The Commerce Ministry’s International Trade Promotion Department is encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises in the South to produce halal food items for export.
Director-general Chantira Jimreivat Vivatrat said on Monday the overseas market for halal food was valued at US$5.63 billion at the end of 2017, up 11.73 per cent from 2016.
The market’s continuing strong growth offers potential for Thai food producers to export their goods, she said.
