Organized by Central Islamic Council of Thailand, the conference attracted Muslim scholars, businessmen and members of Muslim community from all corners of the country. Islam is increasing very rapidly in Thailand’s 66 million population and almost 14% of Thai population is now Muslim (approx 9.29 million Muslims with 3,650 Masajid all over Thailand). The demand for Halal Certified Food and other Halal products is increasing in Thailand among Muslims and non-Muslims consumers and Pakistani manufacturers and exporters producing Halal Food products have a good potential to sell their products in Thailand.
