The 6th Malaysia International Halal Showcase

6 – 10 May 2009

MATRADE Exhibition & Convention Centre (MECC)

Extract from source website: 

“As an international trade fair focused on halal, MIHAS attracts a following of loyal visitors and exhibitors. MIHAS 2008 saw the active participation of 507 exhibitors from 25 countries and attracted a total of 41,862 visitors from 69 countries. Over 55% of these visitors are trade buyers and the who’s who in the food and beverage industry from the ASEAN countries.

Every year, MIHAS hosts over 500 buyers and matches them with participants of MIHAS from Malaysia. During MIHAS 2008, this programme resulted in immediate sales of over RM185.3 million with over RM2.02 billion under negotiation.

Today, MIHAS is the premier event that is not limited to the ASEAN region alone but is also supported internationally by the enthusiastic participation of International Pavilions from countries across the globe. This has equipped MIHAS with the extra edge to break through barriers to enter young developing markets committed to serve the needs of the halal consumer and to reach a quality-conscious generation seeking quality halal food products.

MIHAS serves as the best entry point for the world market to penetrate the global Muslim market or embark into the ASEAN market. MIHAS is hosted by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), and organised by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). “
