Harmonisation Of Food Standards To Promote Asean Trade
ASEAN’s harmonisation of food standards should not deter less developed countries from competing in the intra-ASEAN food trade, a representative from the ASEAN Food and Beverage Alliance said recently.
“ASEAN has the foresight that allows these less developed countries to come up to the level of more developed ASEAN nations by providing capacity development to these countries,” said Dr Siti N Abdul Malek, director at the AFBA secretariat.
