Investigation of Halal Certification of Imported Agricultural and Food Products in Iran, and Exploration of the Possibility of Expanding Market

Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate Iran’s import system and Korea’s sales channels abroad to figure out how to distribute Iran’s imported agricultural and food products. Design/Methodology/Approach This study included a comprehensive review of prior domestic and foreign literature as well as consultations with experts in the agrifood industry and relevant agencies. Findings Considering that 99% of the Iran people are Muslims, halal food certification is essential. Our agricultural and food industry also needs new food product development. To broaden Agrifood’s export networks within Muslim regions, our government and agricultural and food industries need to lay the foundation for halal food markets through a country-by-country and item-by-item research on halal certification. Research Implications 0ur government should make an effort to register the KMF (The Korean Muslim Federation) as one of official halal certification institutes by supporting to develop component analysis and its verifications accordingly and to train halal-related professionals. it is necessary not only to expand its global halal market share by expanding its direct investment in Indonesia, where certification is easy to obtain, entering the Muslim market such as Iran, but also to promote entry into the Middle East with Korean distribution channels.
