Srettha emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting Thailand’s strong and stable food sector.

The first meeting of the National Halal Industry Committee (NHIC) for 2024 was held to bolster Thailand’s economy and open new markets for halal food products.

The initiative aims to expand the international market for halal food products, including those from the southern border provinces.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who presided over the meeting, emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting Thailand’s strong and stable food sector. He noted the country’s robust supply chain, suitable climate, and reliable labor and transportation sectors.

The formation of the NHIC is seen as a crucial step in expanding new markets for Thai products. This follows discussions held by Industry Minister Pimpatra Wichaikul with leaders from predominantly Muslim countries, including Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the Sultan of Brunei.

The Prime Minister urged relevant agencies to promote halal food products internationally and support innovation and technology for producers. He called for clear budgeting under the Ministry of Industry to enhance the Halal Industry Center’s efforts. The initiative aims to improve living standards in the southern border provinces by creating jobs and increasing incomes, leveraging the region’s high potential.

Prime Minister Srettha also visited halal product booths to promote various products developed to enhance the halal industry’s potential. (NNT)
