2/28/23, 2:23 PM                        UAE Business: Workshop focuses on how turning halal will aid Brazil firms
        The  workshop  titled  ‘How  Halal  Will  Boost  the


        Internationalisation  of  Your  Brand?’  brought  together  over


        40 Brazilian food exporting companies, which was led by a


        group  of  professionally  qualified,  international  Halal


        certifiers.






        Furthermore, the ABCC also aimed to detail the operations


        of  the  halal  system  and  identified  the  elements  that


        contribute to the growth of the sector.





        One of these factors is the growing Muslim populace, which


        is  expected  to  increase  in  the  coming  years  in  the  Gulf


        Cooperation Council (GCC). Another factor is the economic


        growth of Muslim-majority countries, which is expanding at


        a faster rate than the global average.






        Tamer Mansour, Secretary General and CEO of the ABCC


        highlighted the importance of expanding the reach of halal


        in  Brazil  outside  beef  and  poultry,  two  products  in  which


        Brazil  is  already  the  world's  top  producer  and  exporter.
