Halal Certification From Farm To Fork: A Holistic Approach To Increasing Consumer Confidence
The rapid expansion of the population of Muslims around the globe has resulted in an exponential increase in the demand for Halal certified products. According to a report published as part of Salaam Gateway’s Monthly Report Series, the value of the global food certification industry in 2015 was estimated to be worth more than $12.5 billion, with Muslims spending over $1.2 trillion on food and drinks alone (Salaam Gateway, 2016). Other sources have projected the value of the global Halal market to continue to grow due to the continued expansion in the global Muslim population (Sungkar, 2008).
