                    [Summary] => The numbers are staggering: $80 billion in global trade annually with a huge consumer base of over 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide seeking specialty foods permissible for them to consume – the Halal foods.


Halal, in relation to food, is a manner of slaughtering animals according to Islamic laws, or food and ingredients that are free of contamination and filth, and are not derived from Haram (prohibited) sources. Muslims all over the world are quite particular about the food they eat as a matter of religious observance.

                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Filipinos could very well learn from the halal industry in Thailand and how it has reached a very profitable level.


"We can learn a lot from Thailand. Our study on how Thailand was able to build a thriving halal industry has given us the proper perspective in establishing our own halal industry in the Philippines, particularly in Mindanao," said Muslim Business Forum (MBF) co-founder Jamil Hamza Olermo.
