ISLAMABAD, Dec 17 (APP): Speakers at a seminar on “Halal Accreditation” held here Thursday urged the government to provide support to the business community for contributing their maximum share in the international Halal food exports business.
“Promotion of Halal food exports can help the country earn billions of rupees through increasing its exports”, the speakers said during the seminar arranged for media by Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC) at a hotel.
Addressing the seminar, Director General, PNAC, Ismat Gul Khattak said that Pakistan is a Muslim country and the world has confidence in Pakistan’s halal food. However, it is very unfortunate that countries like Brazil, New Zealand, Malaysia and India have captured Halal food international market. While Pakistan being a strong Muslim country remained unable to contribute it’s share.
She stated that today, the export of halal food in the world is in trillions of dollars, however, Pakistan’s business community, so far, has not contributed its share in this market”. She said Pakistan’s business community can contribute it’s share in this Halal food market by following the international standards.
This can give a new market to the country’s exports and provide employment to the youth, she added.
