Philippines Eyes Halal Export Market

Halal market is making tremendous global presence recently, and the Philippines sets to join the economic trend. Some of the country’s lawmakers are pushing for the formation of a standardized accreditation and regulatory board that can help make standardized guidelines/local muslim food producers globally competitive. With the bill still under senate review, some Philippine corporations have started to present their competitive products in the recently concluded 10th Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS).

The Philippine government, in order to provide quality services to both its local and international consumers and enterprises, remains enthusiastic in inviting business delegations into the country for more possible investment opportunities. Even looks forward to having Halal certification on most of its products.
