managing director of HW Lima giving his speech at the networking Hi-Tea
session at MATRADE.
As the world’s largest halal trade fair,
MIHAS will provide you the access to
businesses, allowing you to reap on the
various exciting sourcing opportunities
through our iconic business matching
initiatives namely the International
Sourcing Programme (INSP), Hosted Buyer
and MihasConnect.
This year, MIHAS is proud to be part
of the Global Halal Summit (GHaS), an
initiative by the Government of Malay-
sia through the Department of Islamic
Development to converge all halal-related
events within one week in Kuala Lumpur,
from 1 to 6 April 2019.
With such dynamic showcase and
influential mix of events at MIHAS, it is my
hope that MIHAS 2019 will contribute to
your business growth globally. The grow-
ing participation of the world business in
the event is an embodiment of the many
potentials within the Islamic economy
that is valued at USD6.8 trillion by year
2023, according to Thompson Reuters’
State of the Global Islamic Economy Report
2018/2019.
I would like to thank all our supporting
partners, sponsors, exhibitors, buyers,
media and visitors in making the 16th
edition of MIHAS the best edition to date.
Good luck and have fruitful time at MIHAS
2019.

Last year’s MIHAS event have attracted over 778 exhibitors from 32 countries and 21,000 visitors
globally, generating over RM1.52 billion in sales.
An exclusive look into the MIHAS 2019 Hi-
Tea session with the embassies of the Arab
Nations in Kuala Lumpur. Aiming to share the
insights of Malaysia Halal Industry, MIHAS
together with MATRADE and Arab Malaysian
Chamber of Commerce (AMCC) put together
a networking event to urge the Arab League
nations to look to Malaysia for the supply of
halal products for their market.
The exponential growth of halal trading in
Asia Pacific especially, has been an indicator
that halal products are not just being traded in
between Arab countries. Although there has
been somewhat a disconnection between
halal markets in the Asia Pacific and the Arab
countries.
The hi-tea session aims to showcase the
strength of halal trade of the Asia Pacific and
have more traders among Arab countries to
join in. MIHAS 2019 is where halal traders in Asia
has been congregating, and it is where they
want traders from Kuwait, UAE, Arab Saudi, and
more to be a part of as well.
