Halal Product Export to CIS Countries: Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan
Halal Product Market in CIS Countries
CIS countries demonstrate steady growth in demand for certified halal products. Kazakhstan, where Muslims make up over 70% of the population, imports about 15% of its meat products, a significant share being halal. Uzbekistan, with a 28-million predominantly Muslim population, develops its own production but continues to purchase premium categories.
Belarus, despite a small Muslim population, is an important transit hub and consumer of halal products for food service and retail chains. Russian producers have a competitive advantage due to geographic proximity, the single EAEU customs space (for Kazakhstan and Belarus), and recognition of Russian halal certificates.
Особенно востребованы пепперони, колбасные изделия из говядины и птицы, казылык и другие традиционные деликатесы. Сегмент HoReCa растёт на 12-15% ежегодно, что создаёт дополнительные возможности для поставщиков качественной продукции для ресторанов и кафе.
