Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi highlighted the growing global demand for halal products, projected to reach $5 trillion by 2030. Malaysia aims to seize this opportunity, emphasizing halal exports and urging Bumiputera entrepreneurs to participate. The Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) will expedite halal certification for them. Malaysia's dominance in halal food is evident, with top rankings in the Global Islamic Economy Index. The government aims to further consolidate its leadership by facilitating certification processes and leveraging its strengths in the sector. This presents a lucrative opportunity for new and existing companies to tap into Malaysia's expertise and capture a share of the expanding halal market.
