The global Halal industry is expanding rapidly, but Vietnamese exporters have yet to fully capitalise on its opportunities. Experts believe Viet Nam needs a comprehensive, long-term strategy to develop its Halal sector, covering certification, market access, and capacity building.

'Pho' (noodle soup), 'banh mi' (Vietnamese sandwich), 'Ca kho to' (Vietnamese fish braised in a clay pot), 'Lau ca tam' (sturgeon fish hot pot) and black coffee, along with several other dishes, have been listed by the world-famous culinary website TasteAtlas, among popular foods in the world in 2023.
