The Global Market for Halal Food and Cosmetic Products is in the
region of one trillion US dollars per annum.
The government of Thailand has appointed the Central Islamic Council
of Thailand (CICOT) to be responsible for the Institute of Halal Food
Standards in Thailand.
The Halal Science Centre at Chulalongkorn University has a world
class Halal science laboratory in the heart of Bangkok.
The Laboratory is fully equipped with a variety of advanced and
sophisticated scientific instruments to perform testing to ensure an
item is halal.
Currently the ACJU- HD is in the process of signing a memorandum of
understanding with both CICOT and the Halal Science Center to ensure all
products locally certified by the ACJU – HD has global recognition. This
agreement will enable Sri Lankan Halal certified products to have a
global reach, thus enabling Sri Lankan exports to also have a share in
the trillion dollar food and cosmetic market. |
