Halal Certification in Jordan – Why It Matters?

Halal certification is mandatory for exporters targeting GCC and global Halal markets, ensuring all ingredients, processes, and facilities meet Sharia‑compliant criteria.
In Jordan, retailers and manufacturers seek Halal approval to access government tenders and strengthen customer trust, as the domestic Halal market grows by over 10% annually.
ICA Jordan’s local expertise and direct accreditation mean faster approvals, transparent requirements, and no hidden fees.
