KUALA LUMPUR: The halal industry is projected to contribute RM231bil to the nation’s economy within the next five years, says Datuk Hanafi Sakri.

The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) deputy secretary-general said this is due to a robust halal ecosystem in sectors such as food, finance and travel.
