Malaysia: Exporter Guide
Malaysia’s multi-billion dollar food industry is driven by an expanding economy, increased consumer spending and a very healthy tourism industry. Although the country’s halal requirements complicate trade for certain products, Malaysia’s trade and regulatory policies are relatively open and provide opportunities for a broad range of imported foods and beverages. Malaysia’s total agricultural product imports in 2017 reached nearly $16 billion USD, roughly 6.5 percent of which was sourced from the United States.
