Bioalpha to drive export sales to China

KUALA LUMPUR: Bioalpha Holdings Bhd has launched a series of new halal-certified health supplement products in China to cater for the country's Muslim-majority provinces.

Bioalpha said it had identified a niche opportunity to supply halal-certified health supplement to the provinces of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Shaanxi and Gansu.

"To further grow our export sales, we see Xinjiang as a hub to penetrate neighbouring countries with Muslim population such as Mongolia, India, Kazakhstan and Pakistan. In fact, we have recently just shipped our first batch of health supplements to Inner Mongolia. 

"We are optimistic on our prospects moving forward and believe that our export sales will continue to expand at double-digit growth rate,” said Bioalpha managing director William Hon.

Hon said the group’s export sales to China over the last three years had surged from RM300,000 in FY14 to RM13miln in FY16, making it the 2nd largest export market of the group after Indonesia.
