Trade Issues The Halal market is huge and is global BUT Halal is interpreted differently in different countries Lack of mutual recognition on trade matters among OIC country members Lack of competent Halal Certification Bodies Lack of common Halal standards Lack of halal certified food products in non-oic countries 17 Trade Issues (continue) In almost all countries, Halal is a religious issue. Hence, the state government will not intervene Normally, Halal is regulated under the labeling law Halal certification, therefore, is conducted by many agencies/ associations/ councils/ federations, etc Most traded Halal products are imported from non- OIC countries The OIC is a net importer of Halal food 18
What to Focus? Halal Certification Bodies (HCB) Competency of HCBs (Brazil, EU, India, Australia and US) Halal Standards set by the competent authority Halal Logo authenticity Halal Import Control: Policies and Regulations Import Data base Automated food import management system clearance, hold, analysis or rejection Screening tools: rapid test kit, analytical support 19 HALAL CERTIFICATION BODIES CURRENT SCENARIO Number of Halal Certification Bodies by Region NORTH AMERICA 19% SOUTH AMERICA 4% ASIAN 16% AUSTRALASIA 34% AFRICA 4% Over 300 Halal CBs in operation, however only 33% are registered legal bodies EUROPE 23% Total of 34 countries surveyed :107 Organisations 20

Halal has Gone Mainstream Halal logo has now become a symbol of quality and religious compliance and this makes it sound as the new green. McDonald s in Singapore has seen an influx of eight million patrons a year after obtaining a Halal certification. Since being certified Halal, KFC, Burger King and Taco Bell have all seen an increase of 20 per cent in customers Halal has also been extended to downstream products and services such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, hygiene products and nutritional supplements, travel, art, music and books; even marriage and finance 25 Issues in Harmonization of Standards ISSUES SOLUTION 1. SOURCES OF GELATINE? 2. SLAUGHTER BY AHL AL-KITAB? 3. MECHANICAL SLAUGHTER? 4. PRE-SLAUGHTER STUNNING? 26
Possible Solutions Any labelling/ representations (incl. label, mark, tag, verbal, signage etc) must conform to a Halal standard Common Halal standard for all Islamic countries The standard must be made available and transparent to everyone (government, industry, consumer) The standard should be clear in its requirements for all the relevant stakeholders, especially the manufacturers to understand and implement effectively Competency of Halal Certification Bodies demand accreditation A robust framework of a trading hub and global network should be in place to consistently monitor and enforce the standard, when necessary Import Control system should be strengthened. 27 Proposed Collaboration Malaysia KISR R&D R&D Education & Training Consultancy Halal Products & Services Technology Commercialization Investment & Financial Support Market Network Laboratory Support

SUMMARY Potential and opportunities of halal trade in the Middle East is great Halal certification and modern scientific approaches could reduce the concerns of Muslim consumers with regard to new processed foods Basics and principles of halal products and services should be fully understood by all stakeholders of halal industry to ensure integrity of halal all along the supply chain. SUMMARY The need for global unified halal standards Import control on halal products through competent halal certification bodies should be continuously monitored Development of a centralized trading hub for halal products and services Global network of accredited halal raw and finished halal products; based centrally in the Gulf Integration of existing agencies such as IDB, ICCI, ICRIC and Economic Chambers to synergize the implementation of the above hub/structure under the OIC.
