Realising the potential, MARA developed ASIA FOOD – a one-stop-centre equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and expert trainers which will be able to provide:
ASIA FOOD is collaborating with various institutions like the University of Maryland and the Ministry of Health to become a recognized Halal certification body in Malaysia. This will enable them to provide comprehensive support to businesses, from registration to production, making them a one-stop center for Halal food technology.
