On the afternoon of July 12, a seminar on trade promotion to the African-Middle Eastern markets with the theme “Potential for Promoting Halal Agricultural Products in the Middle Eastern Market” was held in Hanoi. Organized by the Trade Promotion Agency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the seminar attracted a large number of import-export businesses and agricultural sectors attending both in-person and online.
The seminar was conducted in a hybrid format, combining both in-person and online participation. Its aim was to assist Vietnamese businesses in understanding and exploiting information, business practices, and trade policies, along with the standards, regulations, and updates for each potential commodity when trading in the African-Middle Eastern markets.

Regarding the market, besides large Halal product consumption markets in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries like Bangladesh and Egypt, countries in the African-Middle Eastern region, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are also major importers of Halal products.
Halal-certifitication products are preferred by consumers, who are willing to pay 5-10% more for them. Additionally, due to the health and environmental benefits, the demand for Halal products is not only popular among Muslims but is also increasingly consumed in major markets around the world, such as the United States and Europe. However, to successfully penetrate and compete with other suppliers in the African-Middle Eastern region, businesses need to understand and grasp the business practices and market regulations.

Oud Vietnam, a leading company in the field of producing and trading high-quality agarwood, participated in this event aiming to explore new opportunities and partnerships in the Middle Eastern market. With its extensive experience and commitment to quality, Oud Vietnam aims to expand its reach and contribute to the promotion of premium Vietnamese products on the global stage. Their participation underscores the potential and readiness of Vietnamese businesses to meet the demands of the Halal market and reinforces the significance of this seminar in paving the way for fruitful trade relations.
