The signing of multiple trade cooperation agreements between Vietnam and Middle Eastern countries in late 2024 has opened new opportunities for Vietnamese goods to enter the Halal market, creating strong momentum and prospects for Vietnamese businesses, particularly those operating in agriculture.

According to the Vietnam Trade Office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), industrial and agricultural production in the country is quite limited so it must import food and consumer goods to meet local needs. This presents an excellent opportunity for Vietnam to increase its exports to the market.

Bangkok has leapt 43 places and entered the 50 most expensive locations in the world for the first time.
