This year's Halal Business Forum in Zagreb featured 6 panels. On the second day, three panel discussions were held on the topics "Circular Economy in Halal and Medical Tourism", "Education in the Halal Industry", and "Halal Product Innovation".

The second day of the Halal Business Forum was dedicated to relations between Croatia and Iran. The long-standing cooperation between these countries in the halal market was crowned with the Croatian-Iranian forum.

The halal market is continuously growing and developing, and there is an increasing demand for halal products. The company Božjakovina d.d. is engaged in the processing and milling of cereals (wheat, oats, barley, corn), which have acquired the right to the halal quality label in a factory with a capacity of 6,000 tons.

The company is focused on achieving full customer and consumer satisfaction by recognizing their current and future needs, to which the halal certificate certainly contributes.

Mlinar is the largest bakery group, not just a company, in the entire Adria region, and the group includes Mlinar Croatia, Mlinar Slovenia, Mlinar Serbia, and Mlinar BiH, while exports, of which 50 percent are halal products, fall under Mlinar Croatia. Across the entire group, we have more than 330 own retail outlets and nearly 2,600 employees, emphasized Ivana Jukić, Export Director of Mlinar, in an interview with Poslovni FM.
