Malaysia has made a significant impact in Japan with Halal Development Corporation Berhad showcasing halal products and services at the JFEX Summer Show 2025, held at Tokyo. Interestingly, the participation garnered RM345.2 million in potential sales, giving the local halal industry another strong market to attract in the future.
“HDC’s presence at JFEX 2025 provided a strategic platform for 50 Malaysian halal-certified exporters and export-ready companies to present their products and services to the Japanese market and neighbouring countries. This showcase was to promote the Halal Malaysia brand and open a valuable trade as well as investment opportunities for Malaysian businesses.” Said Mohamad Romzi.
Over the course of three days, HDC facilitated more than one hundred B2B meetings between Malaysian exhibitors and high-quality Japanese and international buyers. These engagements generated potential sales valued at approximately RM345.2 million.
Japan remains one of Malaysia’s top five halal export destinations, with export values ranging from RM2.5 billion to RM3.5 billion in 2023 and 2024. The sustained high interest from Japanese businesses has positioned HDC as a key reference point for halal knowledge and expertise, with numerous visits and enquiries from Japanese organizations even before the pandemic. This momentum is further supported by Malaysia’s ongoing participation in World Expo 2025 in Osaka, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to global halal leadership.
