Consuming Halal-certified products is essential to the practice of the Islamic faith.
It is important for Middle East countries to ensure that the meat and poultry they consume are genuinely Halal-certified to adhere to the lawful food prescribed for Muslim countries.
With this in mind, more and more food manufacturers acknowledge the importance and the salability of Halal-certified products.
To date, the total value of the global Halal food market is worth about US$ 632 billion based on industry reports.
Since our main source is from the Philippines, we coordinate with various government agencies in doing business with Philippine companies that are Halal-certified.
“Looking at the results of the two business missions organized by the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) last year, we can say that Halal-certified products have huge potential in the world Halal market,” shared Sue Guru, Focal Halal Person of DTI.
CITEM will also promote Halal products in a special pavilion in the country’s trade show for food, the International Food Exhibition Philippines (IFEX). IFEX Philippines is the country’s premier trade event for quality and delectable food ideas scheduled on 6-8 May at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, Pasay City.
Moreover, the 3-day event will feature the Halal Pavilion, a creative display of Halal certified products from the Philippines that cover a wide range of food categories.
