Q-News, Issue 367
July 2006

The global halal industry is poised to become one of the biggest economic stories of the decade. Conservative estimates put the industry at just under US$590 billion. With a consumer base of 1.5 billion (and God, we know its growing fast), halal is set be bigger than organic, fair trade and vegetarian combined. Look out for a major report on the first World Halal Forum which was recently held in Malaysia in the next issue of Q-News.

The World Halal Expo is now coming to the UK. The show will be held Islington’s Business Design Centre, 2 to 3 April 2007. A two day International Halal Conference - Challenges and Opportunities in the European Halal Market will be held in conjunction with the expo, which will profile the spectrum of possibilities that is the halal industry - from food products, to Islamic finance. Q-News is proud to be a media partner of the World Halal Expo UK 2007.

Organizations and Companies which are interested to exhibit in the World Halal Expo or participate in the Conference (as a delegate or speaker) are invited to contact the organiser by email at info@expam.com or contact UK representative Syarifah Aidid-McDonough at smcdonough@expam.com or on + 44 (0)791 737 5469 or +44 (0)203 2200 007.
