World halal expo 2014 to be held in Thailand

The Halal Institute, Prince of Songkla University, in Thailand has invited halal producers nationwide along with buyers and exporters to an international conference and halal product trade fair between October 30 and November 2.

Through the event, the institute is aiming to develop southern Thailand into a regional hub of halal products and services and encourage existing producers to promote the popularity of their goods in both Muslim and non-Muslim markets. The institute also hopes for more cooperation between organizations of halal producers and other government and private units which can lead to future co-working in the development of national economic, social and cultural issues.
