HALAL CERTIFICATION – A PASSPORT FOR BUSINESSES EXPORTING TO MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRIES

In today’s business environment, exploring and expanding into new markets is essential for improving business performance. This is particularly important for companies seeking to develop their export markets. However, meeting international export standards can be challenging, especially when entering Muslim-majority markets. To bring their products into this market of over a billion people, businesses need to obtain essential certifications, including HALAL certification.

What is Halal Certification? Halal certification is the process of assessing and certifying products, services, or production processes – particularly in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care – to ensure compliance with Islamic law (Sharia) regarding what is permissible (Halal).

Obtaining Halal certification not only helps businesses demonstrate their credibility and product quality in accordance with Islamic standards, but also serves as a powerful catalyst for expanding market share in a multibillion-dollar market and accelerating revenue growth. In this sense, Halal certification serves as evidence of a brand’s value, enhances the manufacturer’s reputation and standing, and facilitates access to markets across Muslim-majority countries, which account for a significant share of the global population.

In Vietnam, Halong Canfoco is proud to have been awarded this certification by a reputable international organization. This recognition reinforces our market position and brand reputation while promoting trade and helping bring Vietnamese products and brands to markets around the world.

This is also why Ha Long Canned Food Joint Stock Corporation (Halong Canfoco) was specifically invited by the organizing committee of Techfest HaiPhong 2025 to participate in a seminar introducing Halal standards and showcase its Halal-certified products. The event is part of the city’s annual program and will bring together numerous partners, trade counselors, and representatives of embassies from Muslim-majority countries.

Techfest HaiPhong 2025 is scheduled to take place from October 9 to 11, featuring a large-scale program with a diverse schedule and rich content. The event will serve as a bridge connecting businesses in Hai Phong with buyers, partners, and trade organizations around the world.
