On February 3, 2022, Pearl Meat Industries in partnership with the Government of Uganda flagged off 5.5 tonnes, the first meat consignment for export to Jordan under a memorandum of understanding where Pearl Meant Industries will be supplying Halal Certified Meat to Jordan.

Mr Idris Ali Elgadhi, the Managing Director of Pearl Meat Industries located in Nakasongola District, confirmed that the first shipment was executed in line with the agreed international standards and that the Halal Certification is a big boost in the meat export journey that was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are supposed to be supplying meat regularly while taking into account the international set standards and the Halal certification undertaken by a certified team from the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council. On Thursday, we successfully shipped 5.5 tonnes of meat. We expect to make another shipment on February 8,” he says.
