WHY?

Halaal products and services have now evolved from an ‘exclusive, select’ marketplace to a global movement, for example many continental Halaal-conscious consumers, Muslim or not, are now opting for food and beverages specifically, that are Halaal certified, particularly amid growing health and hygiene concerns.

Despite a relatively small Muslim population, South Africa is set to  become a leading producer of Halaal products worldwide.  Being the largest exporter of Halaal product into Africa and recognised as the key gateway supplier to African Halaal markets, South Africa will no doubt be a material contributor to the global Halaal Economy. (Which is estimated to be worth $3.2 trillion by 2024, according to the Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZA) 2021 Report).

There are a number of big projects underway which will further boost the  Africa’s Halaal industry.   South Africa boasts a comprehensive Halaal certification programme and about half of all retail food and beverage products are Halaal certified.
