• Muslims follow the Islamic dietary code, and foods that
meet that code are called halal (lawful or permitted).
• Muslims are supposed to make an effort to obtain halal
food of good quality. It is their religious obligation to
consume only halal food.
• The global market for halal products is estimated at USD
580 billion a year and global halal trade is approximately
USD 80 billion or 5% of total trade of agri-food products.
• Rising income levels in key Muslim markets have led to
higher consumption rates and therefore more
opportunities for halal food producers.
