The DITP took 11 Thai halal food and three halal cosmetics companies to Oman and Qatar from March 10 to 16. The companies participated in business matching activities where they received orders totalling US$574,000.
The DITP plans to promote Thai products in other countries in the Middle East as well as inviting buyers and importers from the region to attend THAIFEX in Bangkok.
“We will cooperate with department stores and Thai restaurants in the Middle East to create further awareness of Thai food and halal products,” DITP Director-General, Banjongjitt Angsusingh, said on May 13.
