Indonesian Vice President Urges Expansion of Global Trade of Halal Products

Indonesian Vice President Ma'ruf Amin has emphasised the need to develop the country’s Halal industry by expanding its role in the global trade of Halal products, in addition to fulfilling domestic requirements, according to local media.

Speaking at a recent virtual inauguration of the Halal Marketing and Management Digitalization Training Program for Micro, Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (MSMEs), Amin stated that Indonesia should make use of the potential of the global Halal market by boosting its exports, which currently only make up around 3.8% of the total global Halal market. Amin added that the global Halal market reached USD 2.2 trillion in 2018, and was projected to grow to USD 3 trillion in 2023.
