Madame, Monsieur,
Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada en collaboration avec le Conseil de Commerce Canado-Arabe vous invite à participer à un séminaire d’information d’une demi journée sur le marché des produits halal à Montréal, mercredi le 3 octobre 2007.
En 2003, on comptait approximativement 1,4 millions de musulmans dans le monde. La croissance de la population musulmane est supérieure à l’offre de produits alimentaires disponibles dans les marchés du Moyen Orient et du Sud Est Asiatique. Le commerce des produits alimentaires halal est estimé à environ 150 milliards de dollars US par année.
Le progrès technologique, le développement des équipements et des infrastructures permet aux entreprises agroalimentaires canadiennes d’être compétitifs et d’être mieux positionnées pour répondre aux besoins croissants de la communauté musulmane en produits halal à travers le monde.
Le séminaire a pour objectif de donner un meilleur aperçu du marché des produits halal, des opportunités d’affaires pour nos entreprises agroalimentaires ainsi que de faire partager les expériences fructueuses vécues par nos entreprises.
Nous espérons vous compter parmi nous à cette activité d’une demi journée.
Nous vous remercions de bien vouloir compléter le formulaire d’inscription avec votre paiement de 40$ et de le faire parvenir au Conseil de Commerce Canado-Arabe par fax : 416- 362-7633 ou par courriel : info@canada-arabbusiness.org

Saudi Arabian economic development is focused on developing the Kingdom's infrastructure, human resources, and private-sector, and the leadership is actively promoting the privatization of the industrial and agricultural sectors.
