Today, halal food market is sizing up to 150,000 – 200,000 million US dollar from 25 percent of the world population with the approximated growth rate of 6.3 percent per year during 2013 – 2018. Halal economics is divided into three main categories which are food, tourism and finance.

Thailand has been aware and focusing on both halal production and service in the last 3 – 4 years, however it still lacks several factors that could be the driving force of production, processing and exporting of halal food. The factors are such as, the lack of halal supply chain system for industry to use in supply chain management, the lack of system planning and standardized halal certification system. These factors once developed should increase competency of almost every department related, which in consequence will help drive and direct this industry which is news and has no clear direction to be able to rival among other advanced industries.

For this reason, Chulalongkorn Halal Science Center see the opportunity and invent System Protocol for Halal Electronic Resources Exchange a.k.a. SPHERE to help increase Thailand’s halal industry’s overall competency within IMT-GT, GMS and ASEAN areas. Therefore, SPHERE system will cover resources exchange from tip to toe.
