About This Event

The world's largest halal trade fair, organised by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). Covers food, non-food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, Islamic finance, logistics, and packaging.

MIHAS sits at the centre of Malaysia's halal export ecosystem — the Malaysia country profile covers market size, regulatory framework (JAKIM), top sectors, and export routes for buyers planning a sourcing trip.

Most exhibitors at MIHAS hold certification from JAKIM, Malaysia's national halal certifier — the gold-standard mark recognised across ASEAN, the Middle East, and most major halal-import markets.

Kuala Lumpur skyline

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Halal Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is one of the easiest cities in the world for a Muslim business traveller. Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, so halal food is the default rather than the exception, and prayer rooms (surau) are standard in malls, office towers and transport hubs. The main expo venues — the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) in the city centre and MITEC near Jalan Duta — are both well served by rail and ride-hailing. English is widely spoken, and most hotels provide a qibla marker and a prayer mat on request.
