Business Training Program HALAL STANDARD AWARENESS

With a population of more than 2 billion people, the Muslim market is considered a potential market, especially for countries with many advantages in exporting agricultural and aquatic products such as Vietnam. However, achieving the standards and regulations for Halal certification is still a difficult problem for Vietnamese enterprises.

The Muslim market currently covers more than 2 billion people and is expected to increase to 2.8 billion people by 2030, accounting for 30% of the world's population. Accordingly, the Halal industry (providing products and services that meet standards for Muslims) is large in scale and has high growth potential. The total value of global Halal product trade is up to trillions of USD per year, focusing on key areas such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fashion, tourism, media, and entertainment.

Meanwhile, Vietnam has many favorable conditions for exporting food to the global Halal market. We have strengths in exporting agricultural and aquatic products with high standards; our country's import and export structure is complementary to the markets of Muslim countries; we have conditions to take advantage of opportunities from new-generation free trade agreements...

In order to approach and exploit this market, in recent times, functional agencies and many localities across the country have been promoting information and propaganda activities on trade policies, culture, and consumption practices of the Muslim market to businesses; at the same time, supporting trade promotion, effectively approaching and participating in this potential market.

Halal standard training is a key factor in helping businesses comply with religious and legal regulations, improve product quality, expand markets, and enhance reputation. Especially, in the context of globalized markets and the strong growth of the Muslim community, understanding and properly implementing Halal standards becomes urgent to not only meet consumer needs but also contribute to the sustainable development of the global economy.
