TASHKENT, UZBEKISTAN – In a move to bolster bilateral trade and food security within the Halal sector, the Central Asia Group (CAG) has successfully coordinated the initial phase of a collaboration between Malaysia’s Jaafar Industries Sdn Bhd and Uzbekistan’s leading meat producer, MEGA TRANSTRADING LLC.
This partnership, initiated by CAG, is set to establish a new food trade corridor, focusing on the mutual exchange of high-quality, ready-to-eat Halal meat products. The initial phase will see MEGA TRANSTRADING LLC’s products introduced to the Malaysian market, with a strategic view to expanding across the ASEAN region. Concurrently, the cooperation paves the way for the distribution of Malaysian ready-to-eat Halal products in Uzbekistan, creating a symbiotic trade relationship.
During the introductory meetings, both companies acknowledged the significant and viable potential for expanding their relationship. The dialogue highlighted a shared vision where both regions can substantially benefit from leveraging their respective strengths in Halal food production.
“The role of CAG is to bridge dynamic economies and create win-win scenarios,” said a Dr. Ali Sher. “Facilitating this connection between a robust producer in Uzbekistan and a established distributor in Malaysia is a perfect example of how we can unlock new opportunities in the global Halal market”
The next stage of the collaboration will involve detailed market studies. Both parties have agreed to conduct in-depth analyses of regional tastes, product specifications, and the harmonization of Halal certification standards.
