The Commerce Ministry is set to roll out export promotion plans for chicken and halal food to tap into the Saudi Arabia market after the Middle Eastern state last week restored full diplomatic relations with Thailand after a freeze for more than three decades.
Phusit Ratanakul Sereroengrit, director-general of the International Trade Promotion Department, said his department and the International Trade Promotion Office in Jeddah are scheduled to bring trade delegations and executives both to Saudi Arabia and Thailand this year to discuss potential export expansion and promote sales of Thai products in Saudi supermarkets.
