Export Potential and Competitiveness of Thai Beef and Processed Beef to Muslim-Majority Markets in ASEAN
คำสำคัญ:
ASEAN, Halal, Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Muslim, Beef and Processed Beefบทคัดย่อ
This research article examines halal standards for cattle slaughter and processing in ASEAN countries, focusing on Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, and compares Thailand's competitiveness in exporting beef and beef products to these nations. Halal certification for imports is regulated by government bodies: JAKIM in Malaysia, BPJPH in Indonesia, and Brunei’s Department of Syariah Affairs. Malaysia’s halal certification process includes stringent inspections, and Indonesia's UU JPH law mandates that all products, including imports, must be halal-certified by 2024.
Thailand demonstrates strong competitiveness in beef exports to Malaysia and Brunei, with RCA values of 1.560 and 5.378, indicating alignment with halal standards. In contrast, competitiveness in Indonesia is low (RCA 0.036), due to stricter halal certification and trade barriers. This highlights the need for Thailand to strengthen its halal certification system, address regulatory challenges, and adapt to diverse ASEAN trade requirements to expand its market presence.
