Fama northern regional director Mohamed Ariffin Awang, who is leading the agency's team at Gulfood 2009 exhibition here, said this was based on discussions with two new importers that took place ahead of the Feb 23-26 event, billed as the region's largest trade exhibition for food, drinks, food service and hospitality equipment.
"They've expressed their readiness to import several containers of fresh fruits every week as well as processed agro-based products from Malaysia.
"And what we're excited about is that one of them distributes to outlets in about 80 countries. So it looks very promising," Mohamed Ariffin told Bernama.
