The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam is working towards obtaining Halal certification for the country's poultry products, catering to the global Muslim market. The Department of Livestock has outlined strict Halal standards for the rearing and slaughtering of chickens, including the use of Halal-certified food and adherence to specific slaughtering procedures. The De Heus Group, in partnership with several Vietnamese departments, is taking steps to establish a disease-free chicken production chain by 2028, with the aim to export disease-free chicken meat that will meet the Halal market's safety and certification standards, including HACCP, GlobalGAP, ISO 22000, and Halal. The Ministry has emphasized the importance of close collaboration between industry and government sectors to overcome technical barriers and successfully export Vietnamese chicken products to the Halal market.
