HALAL certificates to be required for meat exports to Oman - FSI

ArmInfo.  Armenian producers will soon need HALAL certificates to export meat to Oman, according to the press service of the Food Safety Inspectorate of Armenia (FSI).

"Considering the importance of stimulating trade between the Republic  of Armenia and the Sultanate of Oman, as well as the Omani interest  in importing Armenian agricultural products, including meat, we  inform you that, effective June 1, 2027, Armenian businesses engaged  in the production and export of meat products will be required to  have HALAL certificates issued by bodies accredited by the Oman Food  Safety and Quality Center," the source stated.

It should be noted that, according to the latest data from the  Armenian Customs Service (for the first half of 2025), Oman is not  listed among Armenia's export markets. Meanwhile, the customs value  of goods imported from Oman to Armenia amounted to $309,200,  representing an 18.8% year-on-year increase.
