Argentina Expands Halal Exports with UAE Trade Deal, Targeting Islamic Markets

Argentina has announced the signing of a trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates, in order to increase its exports of halal products, particularly meats, to Islamic world markets.

The document signed between the Emirates Halal Institute and the Argentine Foundation for the Promotion of Investments and International Trade is the culmination of the Halal certification framework agreement reached during Argentina’s National Day at Expo Dubai 2020.

The objective is to support Argentine companies in the process of halal certification of their products destined for the Gulf countries and other Islamic countries. Argentina intends to definitively conquer the United Arab Emirates market, which absorbs its products to the tune of $773 million.

The agreement also provides for the implementation of training and assistance services for Argentine companies in the field of Halal certification, as well as the organization of trade missions and business tours focused on Halal products.
