Midamar to Guide GCC Producers on $16b US Halal Market

Halal food producers in the Gulf region are being offered guidance to break into the $16 billion Halal food and Muslim marketing opportunities in the US which is growing at a rate of 25 to 30 per cent a year.

Midamar, North America's largest supplier of Halal meats, will unveil a new consultation service for Middle East companies aiming to capitalise on a growing market in the US at Halal World Expo in Abu Dhabi next month.

Taking place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from December 9-11, this important new industry event is being launched at a time when the global Halal food market was worth an estimated $2.1 trillion a year.

Midamar, which has more than 30 years' international trading experience, will offer market research and local 'know how' to help Middle East producers make inroads and strategic investments into the US Halal industry.

The company has picked Halal World Expo as the launch platform for its new consultation service which officially becomes available in January 2008.

"There are many opportunities for Halal businesses in the UAE and other parts of the Middle East to take advantage of the growing Muslim community in North America," said Jalel Aossey, Director of Midamar Corporation. via Khaleej Times
