KUALA LUMPUR - Boosting halal business overseas will once again be a priority this year for Malaysia, which is being positioned by officials as the world’s convenience store for Islamic commerce.
Aside from its longstanding expertise in halal and its gold-standard certification, the country will put its prowess as a centre for sourcing halal ingredients and materials into focus.
This will be done with the support of the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation, better known as MATRADE, whose deputy chief executive told Salaam Gateway: “Malaysia will be the place to do the sourcing. It should be the meeting point for all halal players.”
