Durban to host halaal export capacity-building workshop
In a proactive move to cultivate South Africa's burgeoning halaal export sector, a capacity-building workshop is set to take place in Durban on June 23 and 24, aimed at establishing a dedicated halaal hub for the industry.
Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal (TIKZN), in partnership with the South African National Halaal Authority (Sanha) is bringing together certified businesses at the Islamic Medical Association in Sherwood.
South Africa's halaal industry has been estimated at approximately R45 billion (USD 3.2 billion), making it one of the leading sectors in the country.
In the employment sector over the past three years, approximately 12 000 jobs have been created in KwaZulu-Natal through halaal manufacturing and related services.
Durban accounts for 55 to 60% of the province's economy making it a central manufacturing hub for halaal products in the province.
