Global ‘halal’ food market to reach US$ 922.53bn by 2026
UAE-headquartered Prime Group, a leading quality and compliance solutions provider in Asia, Middle East and North Africa, has awarded the ‘halal’ certification to a facility of The Pure Foods Hormel Company, a leading food manufacturer and supplier in the Philippines.
The collaboration between Prime Group and The Pure Foods Hormel Company has proven to be both timely and strategic as the global halal food market is expected to grow to US$ 922.53bn by 2026, based on a study by India’s Polaris Market Research.
“We are delighted to support Pure Foods Hormel, conducting the necessary inspections, assessments and halal certification to enable them to export their much-in-demand Philippine products to a wider audience in the UAE and its neighbouring countries,” remarked Salah Ameen, Vice Chairman, Prime Group.
Prime Group’s provision of halal certification to a facility of The Pure Foods Hormel Company is instrumental in driving in growth for the international business of the Philippines’ leading F&B company. This will allow the latter’s halal-certified products to enter the UAE, the rest of the GCC countries and other international markets.
“We welcome the alliance with Pure Foods Hormel, demonstrating Prime Group’s commitment to support various international brands’ foray into the UAE, the Gulf region and beyond,” commented Mary Jane Alvero-Al Mahdi, CEO, Prime Group.
“This vindicates our promise of products and services of uncompromising quality, great taste and value to consumers in the region,” noted Raul Nazareno, representing Pure Foods Hormel.
