Vietnam to export around 1,000 tonnes of chicken meat products monthly to Islamic markets

Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) will hold a conference in May to announce the export of chicken meat products to Islamic markets with an estimated volume of around 1,000 tonnes per month, according to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien.

Tien said the market of Muslim countries, with a total population of around 2.2 billion people, offers opportunities for a number of Vietnamese agricultural products. To date, local companies have exported many products such as tra fish (pangasius), vegetables, fruits and rice to this market.

However, MARD believes that there is still great potential to be tapped into.

To export agricultural products to Muslim countries, Vietnamese products must have halal certification. As such, the agriculture ministry will focus on implementing solutions to access this market.
