By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Eighteen establishments in the Sultanate are set to showcase their homemade products at the second Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MINAS) 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from July 28-31 in their bid to capitalise on the market niche.

Themed "Repositioning the Global Halal Business", MIHAS is considered the ultimate platform to congregate international buyers and sellers in exploring the global spectrum such as food and beverages, cosmetics, fashion, consumables, pharmaceuticals, publication, information technology and Islamic capital market and financial services.

It is estimated that the trade fair - considered a crucial exhibition by global halal industry players - will attract more than 500 companies from 17 countries and millions of visitors from over 35 countries.

Organised by the Islamic Dakwah Foundation Malaysia (YADIM) with full support from the Malaysian government, MIHAS will take place at the Malaysian International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIECC), Mines Resort City in Kuala Lumpur.

The event is now on its second quest to rally local and international entrepreneurs to explore the huge potential that the global halal market has to offer.

Aside from the fair, there will also be side events such as seminars and conferences, International Trade and Business Matching Programme, and fashion show.

The MIHAS International Islamic Fashion Show is a modem interpretation of Muslim apparels - beautiful, creative, elegant, contemporary and modest while adhering to the Islamic laws.

There will also be a forum and paper presentation on halal products and trade and a discussion on global Islamic capital market and financial services from different perspectives.

According to the organisers, halal industry is fast gaining worldwide recognition as a new benchmark for safety and quality assurance.
