Shafaqna Englsh- Brazil remained the world’s largest exporter of food to countries in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in 2024, as the global halal food market is projected to expand from $1.53 trillion to more than $2 trillion by 2029, creating new growth opportunities for exporters, according to Datamar News. Halal certification requires compliance with Islamic standards throughout the production chain, from raw materials and slaughter to processing, storage, and transportation. Industry officials say halal products have evolved beyond a niche market, with certification increasingly recognized as a mark of food safety, traceability, transparency, and quality, attributes valued by both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers. Despite Brazil’s leading position, industry experts say future growth will depend not only on expanding export volumes but also on creating higher-value products through innovation, technology, sustainability, and greater reliability in halal food production. Electronic verification systems, QR codes, and enhanced traceability tools are helping improve supply-chain transparency, allowing consumers to verify product origin, certification, and compliance with halal standards more easily.
