Halal Expo Australia aims to spread awareness about the significance of halal food, products and services among the growing population of the members of the Islamic community in Australia, and to those who do not possess clear or specific knowledge about the consumption of halal food or those who had never used any halal products and services
The first IHC is themed Islam, Halal Industry and Australia, and provides a forum for speakers to discuss and find resolutions on the issues in the larger interest of the Islamic community in Australia and the Pacific region. The speakers will talk about steps to enhance and strengthen the network of the halal industry and its products/services in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region while planning to widen the halal network to other countries and regions. They will make decisions and pass resolutions in connection with the furtherance of their goals of assisting halal industry players, manufacturers and retailers of halal products.
