Exhibition introduction

The Turkey International Halal Food and Products Fair is an international trade event that brings together the world's halal product manufacturers, buyers, agents, investors and trade groups, aiming to promote Halal product trade, introduce Halal products and lifestyles to Muslims worldwide, and provide an international marketing platform for halal product businesses to exchange, cooperate and build win-win partnerships.

The exhibition features halal Halal products and services from at least 20 Islamic countries. Due to changes in Turkey's visa policy, more professional buyers from countries such as Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria will be invited. This is a huge market with 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide and an annual consumption of US$2 billion. From a health perspective, more and more non-Muslims also like halal Halal food. Turkey is a market of 70 million Muslims. Istanbul, as a cultural center city of Europe, attracts many domestic and foreign people to attend this event.
