Its products currently meet strict international standards, holding certifications such as Halal, GMP, and ISO, enabling access to global markets with high regulatory requirements.
The visit is expected to open new avenues for trade cooperation and support the expansion of Vietnamese agricultural products into the growing global Halal market. (*)
