Governments and private certification agencies are working hard to see a broader scope for halal standards and an increasing ecosystem for growth. In time, as halal becomes synonymous with quality and safety, the market progresses towards its substantive improvement.

Extension of Halal Supply Chains in Non-Muslim Majority Territories

The growing emergence of the halal supply chains in the non-muslim territories is driving halal supply chains into non-Muslim countries. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan are now making inroads into supermarkets and restaurants with halal foods.
