Chinese companies led the way, with 45 exhibitors and over 130 attendees, followed closely by Indonesia and Singapore.
Chinese companies won the Best Organization Award and their exhibits were very popularShaanxi Lifeng International Business Co., Ltd., which hosted the Chinese delegation, once again won the Best Organization Award at this year's trade fair. Building on last year's MIHAS performance, the Chinese Lifeng delegation achieved new breakthroughs, increasing not only the number of booths and attendees, but also the variety of exhibited products.
Halal bone china, featuring chili peppers, seaweed, and kiwi slices, has attracted significant attention from buyers worldwide. Tangshan chestnuts secured an order for 20 containers on the first day of the fair. Li Sunke, general manager of the trade fair, expressed his hope that the Lifeng Group would attract more Chinese companies to participate in MIHAS in 2012. Wang Yunzhen, managing director of Malaysia's Lifeng Group, revealed that starting next year, the group plans to invite Chinese provincial governments to take turns sending delegations to the fair, thereby expanding the supply of halal products to the Muslim world.
