Việt Nam is stepping up efforts to boost the export of Halal products to Turkey as part of its broader strategy to tap into the rapidly expanding global Halal market, valued at over US$2.5 trillion.
Hà stated that Việt Nam regarded the development of the Halal industry as a new and important direction to unlock the global Halal market and foster new growth drivers.
Vietnamese seafood processing and export enterprises are completing required procedures and adopting necessary technologies to bring their products into the halal market.
The ASEAN region''s growing demand, combined with geographic proximity that reduces transportation costs, s a substantial competitive edge for Vietnamese enterprises.
Vietnamese agricultural companies are trying to reach the Muslim market by securing Halal certificates for their products. Agencies are trying to popularise knowledge of the culture to local businesses and people.
With nearly two billion Muslims in the world and rising demand for halal products, there is potentially a huge market for Vietnamese companies to exploit, experts said.
