In conclusion,
the success of Halal food does not only lie on a single entity.
Support and collaboration between all parties which include Halal
food manufacturers, slaughter-houses, service providers, Halal
authorities, governments or government agencies, Halal institutes,
consumers are all needed to have a wholesome and
successful Halal program.
