Govt to improve Halal certification standards to boost meat exports

State Minister for Investment (Privatisation) Evelyn Anite has said that the government will support the elevation of Uganda’s Halal certification ecosystem to meet international standards for meat exports.

Halal certification attests that a product due for export is manufactured and packaged in compliance with the precepts of Islamic Law as set by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)

Ms Anite said the government will work with the private Halal certification providers to ensure the country’s products are not generated in other countries.
