What is the meaning of HALAL?
Halal is an Arabic term that means “Allowed” or “Allowed”. Halal food means food that is allowed to be eaten by Muslims. Toyyiban means “Good” in Arabic.
Therefore, the concept of Halal & Toyyiban brought by Malaysia’s halal certification scheme means that all products that have been certified with HALAL have “high quality”.
History of HALAL in Malaysia
The involvement of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) in confirming the halal status of Islamic food products and consumer goods in this country began in 1974 when the Research Centre for the Islamic Affairs Division in the Prime Minister’s Office started to issue halal certification letters for products that met the halal criteria at that time.
Starting in 1994, Halal verification was given in the form of a verification certificate with a Halal logo and from September 30, 1998, Halal inspections were carried out by Syarikat Ilham Daya, a company appointed by the government.
The first Halal standards released in 2000 was an important milestone for Malaysia as it became the first country to have a documented and systematic Halal assurance system.
What's Behind Malaysia Halal Logo
There are more than 100 Halal logos globally. In Malaysia, only 1 Halal logo is used. Malaysia’s Halal logo is an accreditation mark given by JAKIM for a product/ premise/ manufacturer that have fulfilled Halal standards and requirements.
Halal Market
01
Global Halal Market Value
The value of the global Halal market for the food sector alone is expected to be $USD 2.6 Trillion in 2023.
This is because Muslim consumers around the world are increasing every year and they are becoming aware of the importance of Halal. It would be a loss if a food business does not participate in the Trillion $USD market.
02
Malaysia’s Halal Market Value
According to the Halal Development Corporation (HDC), the halal market in Malaysia in 2025 is expected to reach a value of RM 614.36 Billion.
And as much as 70% of the market value is contributed by the food sector.
Halal Certification Scheme in Malaysia
In Malaysia, there is no body that is qualified to issue halal recognition other than JAKIM. JAIN (Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri) and MAIN (Majlis Agama Islam Negeri) act as managing and processing JAKIM’s Halal certification application.
