Prodeca - DACC, Girona Excel·lent and Clúster Catalonia Food Retail, in collaboration with Halal Food Quality, are organising a training session for agri-food companies on the requirements and business opportunities of certified Halal food, and the new regulations and opportunities in the main international markets.

Registered companies will receive a link at the email address given on the registration form a few days before the date of the session.

A THREE-TRILLION-EURO MARKET

The global Halal food market comprises 2 billion consumers, which represents 25% of the world's population.

In 2022 the food and beverage segment exceeded 3 trillion euros in volume, and it is expected to reach 4 trillion euros by 2028.

Asia-Pacific and Africa are the largest Halal markets. In Europe, 5% of the population consumes Halal products, and this figure is expected to rise in the coming years in line with the growing purchasing power of this segment of the population.

The training session is structured in two blocks.

The first block is devoted to setting out the general features of Halal certification — the passport to this consumer market, both in Europe and in export markets.

In the second block, Islamic authorities from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Morocco and Malaysia, together with the general manager of Halal Food Quality, will set out the new requirements in the world's main Halal markets, which include a certification requirement for all food and beverage products.

The first block will be held in Catalan and the second in English.
