Japan’s Nippon Express has launched its domestic halal logistics services in Japan with the start of a new halal-certified domestic air cargo transport on Monday, March 8th.
A statement released by Nippon Express on March 5th says that Japan’s Muslim population numbers about 200,000 and, with an increase in foreign visitors/residents from a diversity of cultural backgrounds anticipated, demand for halal products in Japan is expected to rise. High certification standards for quality assurance and hygiene control have also expanded interest in halal products among health- and safety-conscious consumers.
According to the company, its “Express Hi-Speed” transport includes improved visibility for halal products, delivery modes tailored to specific needs and halal education for its employees.
In 2014, Nippon Express became the first Japanese company to obtain halal logistics certification in Malaysia, and it has since been developing global halal logistics services.
