Shafaqna English- Cambodia has launched a nationwide campaign to promote halal certification, aiming to improve the competitiveness of local products and help businesses expand into the growing global halal market, according to Khmer Times. Led by the Ministry of Commerce and the Cambodian Halal Product Inspection Committee (CHPIC), the campaign seeks to simplify and promote the registration process for Cambodia Halal Product Technical Standard Certification. Officials say the initiative will strengthen product quality, increase consumer confidence and create new export opportunities for Cambodian businesses. Information and registration centers will provide businesses with guidance and on-site support for halal certification applications. The Ministry of Commerce said the initiative will also raise awareness of Cambodia’s official halal standards while educating businesses about penalties for the misuse of the national halal logo or the use of halal labels without valid certification.
