The Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) returns to Kuala Lumpur at the end of this month with increased participation from non-Muslim countries. China and Thailand are the biggest foreign participants, with China represented by 50 percent more companies this year.
“The trend in seeing more non-Muslim majority countries embracing the demand [for halal] is a testament to the growth in the halal trade,” Datuk Shukri Abdullah, CEO of MIHAS, told Salaam Gateway.
There is an 8 percent increase in the proportion of non-Muslim countries participating at MIHAS 2016.
