KUALA LUMPUR (July 24): Dagang NeXchange Bhd (DNeX) has launched its GoHalal platform in the Philippines through its wholly-owned subsidiary Global Market eCommerce Sdn Bhd (GMeC).

This is a key initiative after an agreement signed last month between the company and the Local Government of Naga City of the Philippines, and the Department of Education Division of Naga City.

Under the agreement, DNeX will be given the opportunity to implement overall initiatives for a halal hub in the Philippines, including the development of blueprint, systems and framework for the halal hub.

“The launch of GoHalal4All in the Philippines is the first initiative under our partnership with Naga City. More initiatives are in the pipeline including the provision of halal-related training, and marketing internationally all certified halal products within the halal hub," said GMeC executive chairman Mohamed Hazli Mohamed Hussain in a statement today.

"DNeX will also be involved in the establishment of a halal accreditation and certification centres for the halal hub,” he added.

DNeX currently operates GoHalal eMarketplace for the halal industry, which is accessible at www.gohalal.com.my. It is taking the halal industry online where companies or individuals can get suppliers or buyers for their products and services, as well as obtain and exchange information on the industry in a few clicks.
