Tunisia is hosting the inaugural International Halal Forum today and tomorrow at the Exporter's House in the capital city. The event is organized by the World Business Network, under the supervision of the Ministry of Trade and Export Development, in coordination with the Center for the Promotion of Exports. The forum aims to bring together experts and stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the halal industry.
The forum is expected to provide a platform for Tunisian companies to learn about the requirements and standards for obtaining the halal certification, which is a prerequisite for exporting products to several countries. According to Mohamed Al-Salami, Director of the General Administration of the Center for the Promotion of Exports, Tunisia has several assets that make it an ideal location for companies to obtain the halal certification.
The halal certification is considered a passport for Tunisian products to access several international markets. The certification ensures that products meet the Islamic dietary laws and regulations, making them acceptable for consumption by Muslims worldwide. The forum will feature discussions on the importance of the halal certification, the current state of the halal industry, and the opportunities for growth and development.
The event is also expected to attract investors and business leaders from various countries, who will discuss potential partnerships and collaborations in the halal industry. The forum will provide a unique opportunity for Tunisian companies to network with international partners and learn about the latest trends and developments in the halal sector.
The Ministry of Trade and Export Development is supporting the event to promote Tunisian exports and attract foreign investment. The ministry aims to increase the country's exports and improve its competitiveness in the international market. The halal certification is seen as a key factor in achieving this goal.
The Center for the Promotion of Exports is playing a crucial role in organizing the event, providing support and guidance to Tunisian companies interested in obtaining the halal certification. The center is responsible for promoting Tunisian exports and providing assistance to companies seeking to access international markets.
The inaugural International Halal Forum is expected to conclude tomorrow with a session on the future prospects of the halal industry in Tunisia and the region. The event is seen as a significant step towards promoting Tunisia as a hub for halal products and services.
