The Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) 2025, scheduled for September 17-20 in Kuala Lumpur, is positioned as a strategic platform for Turkish companies to forge partnerships with Malaysian suppliers and tap into the expanding halal products sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bilateral Trade Shows Remarkable Growth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recent economic data highlights the flourishing trade relationship between Malaysia and T\u00fcrkiye, particularly in the food sector. January 2025 figures reveal that total food product trade between the two nations reached USD 154.93 million\u2014a dramatic 55.3% increase compared to the USD 99.76 million recorded in January 2024. This growth trend was balanced, with Malaysian exports to T\u00fcrkiye climbing 57.6% while imports from T\u00fcrkiye rose by 33.4%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;The remarkable growth in food product trade between our countries reflects the tremendous opportunities within the global halal industry,&#8221; explained Sadat Foster Maad, Director of MATRADE Istanbul. &#8220;With the sector projected to reach USD 5 trillion by 2030 according to the Global Islamic Economic Indicators 2023 report, both Malaysia and T\u00fcrkiye are strategically positioned to collaborate and meet increasing demand in this expanding market.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Malaysia&#8217;s Leadership in the Halal Sector<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malaysia has established itself as a global authority in the halal industry, largely due to its internationally recognized certification system that ensures compliance with the highest quality standards. The country&#8217;s government has implemented comprehensive support through strategic initiatives including the 12th Malaysia Plan, the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, and MATRADE&#8217;s National Trade Blueprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These efforts, combined with Malaysia&#8217;s advantageous geographic position and diverse population, have enabled the country to develop robust trade connections throughout the region. The nation has successfully created a thriving export ecosystem that attracts international businesses seeking premium halal products and services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Malaysia&#8217;s focused strategy on becoming a global halal hub has yielded impressive results,&#8221; Maad noted. &#8220;Building on this foundation, we&#8217;re now gaining significant momentum in high-value segments including halal pharmaceuticals, logistics, and food technology, which is diversifying our export portfolio and setting the stage for substantial growth in coming years.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>MIHAS 2025: The World&#8217;s Largest Halal Trade Exhibition<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 21st edition of MIHAS, organized by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), will be held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur.
