Development prospects OF Halal products in OIC Member Countries

he global market value for trade in Halal foods is estimated at US$547 billion a year. This large market has created interest for food producing countries worldwide. The increasing awareness of Muslims on their religious obligations is creating greater demand for halal food and other consumer goods. There are approximately 1,6 billion Muslims out of the 6.5 billion world population, the majority of the nations are in OIC Member Countries. T Thus, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the potential of the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets for halal foods started to be realized, leading to an increase in the production and certification of halal foods. This has expanded into South Asia, the Mediterranean, Europe, Central Asia and South America. Halal product certification is the prerequisite for entering the global Halal market. A halal certificate is a document issued by an Islamic organization certifying that the products listed on it meet Islamic dietary guid- OIC Countries delines. In this regard, with Halal products and services estimated to be worth more than have agreed to US$2 trillion, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is working on a single standard that would apply to all its 57 member countries. develop uniform Halal OIC Countries have agreed to develop uniform Halal global standards, a move that can global standards, a move pave the way for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries to tap the growing that can pave the way for Halal market.

(ICDT) organized in collaboration with the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry the 1st OIC Halal Food Expo in Sharjah on December 10th-12th, 2012 at Sharjah Expo Centre, State of the United Arab Emirates. The launch of the 1st OIC Halal Food Expo was, thus, a one-stop platform for facilitating and sourcing the sale and pur-c chase of food and related products that conform to Halal requirements. The event was also an international platform to explore and discuss emerging technologies, new markets, trends, issues and challenges in the Halal industry. In addition, it featured Halal Food and beverages, related machinery, technology, equipments and Halal certification bodies. This exhibition, which was open to the participation of 57 OIC Member States, the Muslim communities in non-OIC Mem-b ber States, Observer Countries, the OIC Institutions and Economic Operators in the OIC Member States, witnessed on its sidelines the organization of the Middle East Halal Congress on December 11th-12th, 2012 by Halal Development Council of Pakistan, the Islamic Centre for Development of Trade (ICDT) and Sharjah Expo Centre. In its quality as Subsidiary Organ of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that promotes member states’ products and assist Member Countries in trade negotiations, ICDT will once again organize the 2nd OIC Halal Food Expo in Sharjah on December 16th-18th in Sharjah, UAE, which will cater to Halal producers, traders and distributers looking to expand their business in the Middle East region, North Africa (MENA) and the neighboring region. r

Le Gabon Emérgent. La mise en oeuvre d’une stratégie valorisant le potentiel en ressources humaines, naturelles et minéralières

Le projet «Gabon émergent» du Président Ali Bongo Ondimba consiste à mettre en oeuvre une stratégie dont le ressort est la valorisation du potentiel en ressources humai- nes, naturelles et minéralières du Gabon. C’est pour cette raison que le Président a opéré des choix stratégiques afin d’axer le développement du pays autour de trois piliers de croissance baptisés : «Gabon vert», «Gabon industriel» et «Gabon des ervices».

LES TÉLÉCOMMUNICATIONS ET LES NTIC. En plein développement au Gabon

Dans son projet de société « l’Avenir en Confiance», le Président Ali Bonggo Ondimba reconnaît l’import- tance de bâtir une infrastructure de base dans le domaine des Nouvelles Technologies de l’Informa-t tion et de la Communication (NTIC), pour contribuer au développement économique global du pays. Le Gabon compte actuellement 40.000 téléphones fixes 350.000 abonnés à la téléphonie mobile; 55000 uti-l lisateurs d’Internet, représentant 5% de la popu-l lation; 13.000 abonnés PSTN; 210 cafés Internet.

Au coeur du Bassin du Congo, 2ème poumon de la planète, le Gabon possède une faune et une flore parmi les plus diversifiées au monde. On y trouve de nombreuses espèces animales : chimp- panzés, gorilles, crocodiles, éléphants, hippopotames, baleines à bosse, dauphins ou encore tortues... De même, les végétaux présents au Gabon sont multiples. On dénomb- bre par exemple, plus de 400 espèces différentes d’arbres.

Il souhaite au contraire développer un tourisme de qua-l lité, dans le respect de la nature et des hommes, dans la préservation de la biodiversité et de la culture des populations locales, ce qui app- porte une valeur ajoutée au dével- loppement économique et social du Gabon. D’importants projets sont actuellement développées au pays, notamment la privatisation, la rénovation ou la construction d’hôtels comme le complexe ultra moderne du groupe Laaico. Les 13 Parcs Nationaux permettent en outre de multiplier les produits touristiques et constituent une off- fre plus diversifiée. Le tourisme gabonais, en pleine croissance, a donc besoin de développer ses structures, afin de moderniser et renforcer les infrastructures d’acc- cueil existantes en province et à proximité des parcs; dynamiser l’activité des agences de voyages pour un meilleur affrètement tou-r ristique, et d’impliquer les opérat- teurs économiques en mesure de promouvoir l’activité touristique du pays notamment à l’étranger. r

تقدر قيمة السوق العاملية لتجارة األغذية احلالل ب 547 مليار دوالر أمريكي سنويا. وقد خلق هذا السوق الكبير اهتماما كبيرا لدى البلدان املنتجة للمواد الغذائية في جميع أنحاء العالم. ولقدأدى الوعي املتنامي لدى املستهلكني املسلمني وغير املسلمني إلى خلق املزيد من الطلب على املنتوجات الغذائية وغيرها من السلع االستهالكية احلالل. ذلك، أن عدد املسلمني يقدر بحوالي 1،6 مليار مسلم من أصل عدد سكان العالم الذي يبلغ 6.5 مليار نسمة، وتتجمع الغالبية العظمى منهم في الدول األعضاء في منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي. وهكذا، وفي أواخر 1980 وأوائل ، 1990بدأت أسواق الشرق األوسط وجنوب شرق آسيا لألغذية احلالل في التنامي، مما أدى إلى الزيادة في اإلنتاج ومنح الشهادات لألطعمة احلالل. وقد توسعت تلك األسواق لتصل إلى جنوب شرق آسيا و البحر األبيض املتوسط وأوروبا وآسيا الوسطى وأمريكا اجلنوبية. إنمنح الشهادات لألطعمة واملواد احلالل شرط أساسي لدخول سوق احلالل العاملي. ذلك أن تلك الشهادة متنح على شكل وثيقة صادرة عن منظمة إسالمية تقر وتصادق على أن املنتجات املدرجة فيها تتماشى مع املبادئ التوجيهية للمواد الغذائية اإلسالمية. وفي هذا الصدد، ومبا أن قيمة املنتجات واخلدمات احلالل تقدر بأكثر اتفقت دول منظمة التعاون من 2 تريليون دوالر أمريكي، فإن منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي تعمل على إيجاد معيار واحد اإلسالمي على وضع معايير ينطبق على جميع الدول السبعة واخلمسون التي تنظم إليها. عاملية موحدة للمنتوجات وهكذا، اتفقت دول منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي على وضع معايير موحدة للمنتوجات احلالل، وهي اخلطوة التي ميكن احلالل، وهي اخلطوة التي ميكن أن متهد الطريق للدول األعضاء في منظمة التعاون أن متهد الطريق للدول األعضاء اإلسالمي لالستفادة من السوق احلالل املتنامي. وفي هذا اإلطار مت تكليف معهد في منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي الدول اإلسالمية للمواصفات واملعايير )SMIIC( بتطوير وتوحيد تلك املعايير واملعايير لالستفادة من السوق احلالل ذات الصلة. ومبا أن األطعمة احلالل متثل حاليا نحو خمس جتارة األغذية في العالم، املتنامي. نظم املركز اإلسالمي لتنمية التجارة بالتعاون مع غرفة الشارقة للتجارة والصناعة »املعرض األول لألغذية احلالل في منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي«، وذلك في الشارقة في الفترة ما بني 10 و 12 ديسمبر 2012مبركز إكسبو الشارقة، دولة اإلمارات العربية املتحدة. كان إطالق املعرض األول لألغذية احلالل في منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي منصة لتسهيل بيع وشراء املواد الغذائية احلالل واملنتجات ذات الصلة التي تتوافق مع متطلبات املعايير احلالل. وكان احلدث أيضا منصة دولية الستكشاف ومناقشة التكنولوجيات الناشئة واألسواق اجلديدة، واالجتاهات والقضايا والتحديات في مجال تصنيع املنتجات احلالل. كما كانت مجاال لتصنيف األغذية واملشروبات احلالل واملنتجات ذات الصلة مبا فيها اجلهات املانحة ل »شهادات حالل«. كان املعرض فضاء مفتوحا أمام الدول السبعة واخلمسون فيمنظمة التعاون اإلسالمي واآلقليات اإلسالمية املتواجدة في الدول غير األعضاء في منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي و الدول املراقبة و ومؤسسات منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي والفاعليني االقتصاديني في الدول األعضاء. هذا، وقد نظم املركز اإلسالمي لتنمية التجارة بالتعاون مع مجلس تنمية احلالل الباكستاني ومركز إكسبو الشارقة مؤمتر الشرق األوسط للمنتجات احلالل على هامش املعرض األول للمنتجات احلالل في الدول األعضاء في منظمة التعاون اإلسالمي، وذلك يومي 11 و 12 ديسمبر 2012.و بصفته اجلهاز الفرعي التابع ملنظمة التعاون اإلسالمي الذي يقوم بالترويج ملنتجات الدول األعضاء ومساعدتهم في املفاوضات التجارية، سيقوم املركز اإلسالمي لتنمية التجارة مرة أخرى بتنظيم املعرض الثاني للمنتوجات الغذائية احلالل في الشارقة باإلمارات العربية املتحدة في الفترة ما بني 16و18 ديسمبر 2013 الذي سيلبي احتياجات منتجي وجتار وموزعي املواد واملنتجات احلالل، متطلعا بذلك إلى توسيع أعمال هؤالء في منطقة الشرق األوسط وشمال أفريقيا و املناطق اجملاورة. r
