KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) — Taiwanese authorities are looking at the possibility of making the country’s food products acceptable in the halal market.
Taichung City mayor Jason Hu said Taiwanese food product manufacturers were working towards obtaining halal certification for their products to be accepted by Halal Industry Development Corporation.
“We are also looking at setting up factories for the processing of Taiwanese food products in Malaysia within the next one to two years,” Hu said during a media preview of Taiwan’s exhibits at the Malaysia International Food and Beverage Trade Fair (MIFB) 2010 here Wednesday.
MIFB 2010, to be held from July 22 to 24 at the Putra World Trade Centre, will see strong participation from Taiwan’s Economic Affairs Ministry and the Council of Agriculture.
Hu said the participants included Taichung County and Taichung City, Taiwan External Trade Development Council, Taiwan Confectionery, Biscuit and Floury Food Association, World Trade Centre Taichung and Taiwan Invention Products Promotion Association.
The Taiwan pavilion will be opened to visitors during the trade fair, comprising about 100 stalls and exhibitors.
