South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA)
 
 
TRADE OPPORTUNITIES – SEIZE THE MOMENT
 
 
   
No.94
March 2015 : Jumaadal Ukhra 1436
 
     
 

There has been an explosive demand for Halaal goods worldwide as borne out by the number of exhibitions hosted by Governments and trade association agencies worldwide. Many of these are also being hosted in newly emerging markets that were previously difficult to penetrate such as the former states of the Soviet Union, the Far East, China, Vietnam and others.    

Halaal has quickly evolved from being a purely religious matter to one of trade, consumer rights and cross-border transactions. The aspiration of the Halaal consumer is no different from others in that they are looking for foods with nutrition, new taste experiences and most importantly food safety issues amongst which a trusted Halaal mark is a prime requisite. Even secular governments of non-Muslim majority countries have realised the need for introducing regulation to encourage trade.

South Africa is an island of profit surrounded by a sea of export opportunity. With the rand dropping to all-time lows, there has never been a more opportune time for your export drive. International companies can buy South African products at 33% cheaper than they did a year ago and from companies that speak English, produce exceptionally high quality products and have banks which are acceptable worldwide.

As a leading internationally-respected and recognised Halaal regulatory authority providing certification services in many parts of the world to over 1600 establishments and training programmes to Muslim organizations, Shar’iah scholars, industry role players and government regulators, SANHA has endeavoured to build bridges between the various stakeholders in the supply chain. To this end it arranges and participates in seminars, workshops and trade exhibitions. It further gives effect to the export initiatives of Government by guiding entrepreneurs with their applications for export grants, incentives and supports them at the country’s national pavilion at various exhibitions.

Listed below are various events amongst which are some where SANHA is co-ordinating exhibitors within a national pavilion and guiding entrepreneurs with their applications for funding. For event details click on the relevant link below.
