Malaysian producers urged to tap into Japan's growing halal market

OSAKA: Malaysian halal product producers are urged to seize opportunities for collaboration with companies in Japan to market their goods due to the high demand for halal food in the country.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is on a seven-day working visit to Japan, said awareness of halal products is increasing as approximately 120,000 Muslims are residing in the Land of the Rising Sun.
