Gallicoop sees considerable potential in halal meat, a type of meat Muslims are allowed to eat under Islamic law. The company holds halal slaughters every other week, according to MTIʼs report.

Gallicoop primarily delivers its processed halal meat products to western European countries, the company said in a statement.

Demand for halal products has been increasing in recent years not only in Muslim countries but worldwide.

The trade volume of halal products worldwide is estimated to be worth about two trillion dollars.
