The participants noted that a high culture of consumption of halal products plays an important role in the catering industry, and the training of qualified personnel is one of the priorities for the further growth of the industry.
Special attention was paid to how quality standards for halal products help preserve cultural traditions, shape new consumer preferences, and create trends in the global market. The speakers agreed that the halal industry in Russia has significant export potential and the opportunity for sustainable development.
