Ghassan Aboud Group commenced a joint venture with the globally reputed organization Halal Quality Control Group Headquarters (HQC). This occasion marks the introduction of seamless Halal certification solutions for UAE and the wider region. The occasion took place at the world’s largest annual global food and beverage sourcing event, Gulfood in Dubai.

The signing was graced by Mr. Ghassan Aboud, Founder and Chairman, Ghassan Aboud Group and Dr. A.M Al Chaman, Founder of HQC, and European Representative of World Halal Food Council.

The joint venture will provide accreditation solutions that maintain high standards and regulations in line with international Halal Certification Bodies, facilitating the growth of the Halal economy in the UAE and boosting trade to the region through an online application process on its dedicated online platform.

With the Halal economy estimated to be worth $3.2 trillion by 2024 – according to the second edition of the Halal Guidebook released last year – the UAE has established itself as a key player in producing and exporting goods and products across a number of industries as demand surges.

Dr. A.M Al Chaman, Founder of HQC and European Representative of the World Halal Food Council, said: “The partnership is a turning point to promote Halal certification services from the UAE to meet the consumers’ growing demand for Halal products globally. We understand there was a gap in Halal certifications, and we are working with DMCC to provide unified and trusted certification to exporters in the Gulf region to enhance commodity trade flows through Dubai.

Commenting on the occasion, Ghassan Aboud, Founder and Chairman of Ghassan Aboud Group, said: “The partnership between the Group and HQC, which has been established within the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) ecosystem is a significant milestone in our efforts to contribute to the UAE’s position as a leader in the Halal industry. The joint venture has been set up to assist its customers on their journey to becoming Halal-certified and will help realize new avenues for trading through halal certifications and training.”
