 The
arabic word  (Halal) means lawful. In the Holy
Quran, Allah commands Muslims and all of mankind to eat only Halal food.
There are many verses in the Quran which convey this message.

Mr. Wan Noor, who this afternoon travelled to Rajabhat Yala University to
witness the signing of a public-private agreement on the promotion of halal
food, said that a meeting of Muslim chambers of commerce on 25 January had
expressed confidence in the high standards of halal food from Thailand.
Not only were they ready to purchase halal food from Thailand, they were
also willing to invest in the kingdom’s halal food sector, he said.
Today’s agreement linking Rajabhat Yala university, the provincial
authority, the Suk-Kaew Kaew Daeng Foundation and the Office of Small and
Medium Enterprise Promotion (SMEs) will lead to concerted efforts to promote
the farming of goats using halal methods.
It is hoped that the move will give a boost to local employment, raise
the profile of the province’s halal food industry and help promote
traditional farming methods across the province.
Mr. Wan Noor, who also noted the high global demand for halal goat meat,
said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives would fully support
the project by providing technical support. |
