The ARMM’s Department of Science and Technology, the lead agency in the Halal-Technical Working Group, will serve as over-all in-charge in the promotion of the region’s halal-related policies. The two-day event will feature food, apparel, fashion accessories, food-processing techniques, and other products and services that are halal-certified.

The festival will also provide entrepreneurs producing halal products new market opportunities. It will also “serve as a key focal point for education about the real halal practices, what it means and to improve business integrity through values perpetuated by truly halal role models,” a primer on the event noted.

Among of the highlights of the festival is the launching of Halal Ordinance of Davao City, the country’s first, and the Mindanao-wide Qur’an recital competition. The Halal Food Industry Development Plan is a major initiative for Mindanao under the 2004-2010 Medium Term Philippine Development Plan, which specifically provides that the ARMM shall be the country’s halal-production base.

The plan also stipulates that “consistent with the effort of making Mindanao the country’s agri-fishery export zone, the development of the ARMM as halal food production and processing center shall be supported.”  Read More:  http://www.ranaostar.com/2015/07/armms-halal-initiatives-to-be-featured.html
