We are excited to announce that as one of the Halal markets’ most established online directories for Halal hospitality, Hungry for Halal, has partnered with the Halal International Trade Expo (HITE) as a strategic media partner.

The global Halal food sector alone is estimated to be worth $739.59 billion by 2025, and Africa is said to be a major driver and benefactor of this. But beyond the success of the food industry – categories like Halal hospitality and travel, modest fashion and e-commerce are bubbling under the surface as major growth areas for the Halal economy.

Schiff explains that with global Halal business set to soar South Africa and Africa enter the fray with Muslim communities found across Africa and notably in its biggest economies South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt. Locally South Africa boasts a vibrant Muslim and Halal food community but is also a leader in setting Halal standards and product development.

Led by a vibrant expo floor and supported by a high-level business summit the event will create a platform for inbound and outbound trade opportunities.

HITE already enjoys prominent endorsement from the likes of the South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA) and is a member of the Minara Chamber of Commerce and commercial discussions have the potential to be supercharged by the impending African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), says Schiff.

In addition to deep local support the event is likely to attract participation from other Halal global business hubs in the middle east and Asean countries, Schiff concludes.

HITE is jointly organised by global tradeshow organiser dmg events and local events producer Pure Grit and is co-located with leading tradeshows Africa’s Big 7 and SAITEX. Register to attend as well as for networking and to attend talks from a range of thought leaders in the industry.
