FIA was invited to participate in a panel discussion on “Collaboration and Innovation for a Sustainable Halal Ecosystem” organised by Warees Halal during the FHA-Food & Beverage Event held in Singapore. During the discussion, FIA emphasised the importance of a sustainable halal ecosystem, which involves creating new halal products, making healthier versions of existing ones, and distributing them globally without trade barriers. Challenges such as catering to diverse taste preferences, ensuring compliance with various regulations, and managing multiple halal certifications were underscored as hurdles encountered by the food industry. These obstacles are compounded by external factors such as natural disasters and political conflicts, which further disrupt supply chains. FIA advocated for collaboration among governments, certification bodies, industry associations, and businesses to address these challenges, promote transparency and establishment of mutual recognition agreements, ensuring consistency in certification procedures and facilitating market access for halal products and ingredients. #FHA-Food&Beverage #FHA2024 #Halal #MutualRecognition #TradeFacilitation
