Malaysia became the largest exporter in ASEAN in 2021 with a turnover of up to billions of USD. The country mainly exports to Vietnam items such as electrical and electronic products, chemical products, and petroleum. Malaysia wants to export palm oil products to Vietnam, while possibly importing larger volumes of means of transport and rice from Vietnam, she said, adding that Vietnamese rice is of the best quality and most suitable for Malaysia. Malaysia expects Vietnam will become one of the 10 largest Halal food exporters to Malaysia in 2022. Vietnam and Malaysia can completely set higher goals in cooperation areas with great potential, especially trade, investment and Halal food, she stressed.
