Alberta's 'best-kept secret': Beef producers chase halal market

More Alberta beef producers are chasing halal certification as Canada’s Muslim population continues its rapid growth.
Conservative estimates put the global Muslim population at around 1.8 billion. By 2030, that number is expected to hit 2.2 billion — about one-quarter of the Earth’s population. Canada’s Muslim population hit one million in 2011, and is expected to triple to three million by 2030.
The Canadian halal market is worth $1 billion annually, and climbing.
