Kuala Lumpur, 24 Jumadil Awwal 1436/15 March 2015 (MINA) –Halal Industry Development Corp (HDC) has called on producers of halal products to use its expertise via Global Halal Support Centre, which is free.
Managing director/chief executive officer, Datuk Seri Jamil Bidin, said the centre, which was set up over four years ago, functioned as a one-stop centre for the producers to know about the standards, certification or capacity building for halal products and services.
“Besides the locals, we have welcomed industry players from over 60 countries and over 30 million people have visited our online portal,” he told Bernama recently, halalfocus.net quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
Jamil said the support centre recently won the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) award for the Best Programme for 2014.

Miti would hold a competition every year for organisations under it and government agencies.
HDC has been chosen as the winner for successfully conducting its programme based on the government’s outcome-based budgeting (OBB), he said.
OBB was introduced in the 10th Malaysia Plan (2011 – 2015).
