Malaysia is taking steps to become a halal gelatine supplier for the global market, said Entrepreneur Development Minister Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof.

This, he said, could reduce the halal gelatine import into the country by 30 percent.

“This will also increase opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to be involved competitively in the halal gelatine supply chain,” he said during the question session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
