ASEAN Halal Framework

The ASEAN Halal Framework is a regional system created by Southeast Asian nations to ensure that halal products—those permissible for Muslims—are produced, certified, and certified consistently across borders. It aims to facilitate trade, build consumer trust, and promote economic cooperation by harmonizing standards and certification processes. This helps halal products meet common quality and safety criteria, making it easier for countries within ASEAN to share and access markets while respecting religious requirements. Overall, it fosters regional integration, boosts halal trade, and supports the needs of Muslim consumers throughout Southeast Asia.
