KARACHI: FPCCI former president SM Muneer has called for more efforts by the government and the private sector to capture the emerging halal food market in Canada. “Canada’s halal food market is currently estimated to be worth $1 billion and the demand for halal options has increased in Canada’s Muslim population. It grew 82 percent over the last decade, and is expected to triple by 2031,” he said while speaking at an event organised by the Universal promotion.
Muneer is very optimistic about upcoming 4th largest Mississauga Halal Foods festival in Canada scheduled for May 20, 2017. It would help capture halal food industry in North American market as well, he said. The Universal Promotion president said the halal food festival would be held on May 20, 2017 at Celebration Center, Square One. This event would reflect the increase in demand for halal products. He said that Mississauga Halal Food Festival is a celebration of Toronto’s diverse and delicious food trends.
