Government Perceptions

USA-The major food supplier to the world.

Why does this matter for the Halal market?

In the USA there are no government rules

oversight. How are they responding?

 – Biofuels, Droughts, flooding, urbanization

 – High fuel costs; transporting food globally – Export bans by agricultural countries

 – Reduced investment in agricultural farming
