DAGANGHALAL.com, the world’s largest Halal-verified B2B (business-to-business) e-marketplace, has recently participated in Gulfood 2025 which is the world’s most influential annual food and beverage trade event.
Staged from Feb 17 to 21 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the event featured over 5,500 exhibitors from 129 countries in addition to having attracted more than 59,000 industry professionals.
DagangHalal’s participation at Gulfood 2025 was a strategic move to expand its global reach and strengthen Malaysia’s presence in the global halal economy.
The company showcased an extensive range of halal-certified products, hence highlighting its role as a vital link between Malaysian MSMEs (micro, small and medium) and global markets.
Reflecting on its presence in Gulfood 2025, DagangHalal described the event as “an incredible opportunity” for the company to strengthen its global presence while facilitating direct connections between its buyers and suppliers’ base.
“DagangHalal is committed to driving the global halal trade forward by providing MSMEs and manufacturers with seamless market access.,” the company pointed out in a statement.
“By leveraging our digital platform and strategic industry collaborations, we’re empowering businesses to connect with high-demand markets such as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.”


In line with DagangHalal’s vision to support Malaysian MSMEs, the company has in recent times rolled out an innovative Halal Internal Audit System (HIAS).
This digital solution is designed to simplify and streamline the halal compliance process for businesses, thus ensuring transparency and maintaining the integrity of halal certifications – a vital requirement for entering lucrative markets such as the MENA region.
All in all, Gulfood 2025 is aligned with Malaysia’s Budget 2025 which has placed significant emphasis on the halal sector with a RM600 mil funding to support SMEs in obtaining halal certification and RM1 bil in financing guarantees for halal trade expansion.
Strategically positioned as the gateway to the MENA region, Dubai is home to over 500 million consumers with a combined GDP (gross domestic trade) exceeding US$4 tril (US$1=RM4.46).
In this regard, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has emerged as a global halal trade hub, hence making Gulfood 2025 a crucial platform for businesses aiming to expand internationally.
With the global Halal food and beverage market projected to reach US$3.27 tril by 2028, DagangHalal is committed to empowering businesses through digitalisation, strategic market access, and financial innovation. – Focus Malaysia
