The World Halal Economy has grown in the past decade almost exponentially. According to the Dinar Standard, in 2015 the Halal food economy of North America and Europe was estimated at $48Bn. With this growth has come increased regulation by Governments and establishment of halal agencies within some muslim countries.

The 2016 HFCE Halal Conference will focus on these halal emerging markets and provide a platform for discussion between industry, certifying bodies and government representatives to provide some understanding of the trends for halal guidelines and accreditation for the next decade.

HFCE is one of the largest halal certification bodies in Europe and is accredited by MUI (Indonesia), MUIS (Singapore), JAKIM (Malaysia), MOEW (UAE) as well as having a network of certification bodies around the world. HFCE continues to work with governments and HCB's to help industry to access new halal markets and provide consumers with new Halal products.
