The year 2011 will see DagangHalal.com (DagangHalal) entering into a whole new frontier. Since its inception in 2007, DagangHalal has since matured by strategically positioning itself as the world’s leading Halal e-marketplace and is set to explore for potential partners globally. What once began as addressing the needs of Malaysian based SMEs in the Halal industry is now targeting on global Halal industry players. Indeed, 60% of the world’s Muslim population resides in Asia and Malaysia rests in the heart of South East Asia. This makes DagangHalal the perfect Halal e-marketplace platform to draw the world’s Halal industry buyers and importers on one common ground.
In the local arena, DagangHalal has received undivided support from the Malaysian government alike Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and Malaysia Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM). Its involvement in various Halal programs and activities such as the 1Malaysia 1Halal Campaign (1M1H) in collaboration with JAKIM, the World Halal Forum (WHF) as the official media partner, Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) and many others has indeed catapulted DagangHalal position as a legitimate reference for global Halal industry development.

This program is specially catered for international business entities who are interested to venture into the Halal IT based project, which is DagangHalal core business activity.
The MoU signing ceremony between DagangHalal and SAPTEL Group marked the first of such collaboration.
