Respected as a modern, peaceful and prosperous Islamic country especially among OIC member countries, Malaysia has the added advantage of championing the Halal cause.

Inaugurated in 2004 with the sole aim of facilitating the sourcing and selling of quality Halal consumables, products and services globally, this annual trade fair is in effect the largest congregation of Halal industry players.
As an international trade fair focusing on Halal, MIHAS attracts a following of loyal visitors and exhibitors.
