Facility for Halal carabeef production soon to rise in Bukidnon Mar 2018 Bubalus Halal By Mervalyn Tomas A facility for the production of Halal-certified buffalo meat will soon be put up in Maramag, Bukidnon. This will be done under the supervision of the Philippine Carabao Center at Central Mindanao University (PCC@CMU). Halal is a Qur’anic term meaning ‘permitted, allowed, or lawful’. Halal is a Qur’anic term meaning ‘permitted, allowed, or lawful’. It is an Islamic value that has a direct impact on how products are produced, processed, distributed, stored, sold and consumed. “We have already allocated a 30-hectare pasture land here at PCC@CMU for the fattening of 24 carabaos, ages 18-36 months. Also, the researchers involved in this project have already undergone trainings regarding Halal,” Director Lowell Paraguas of PCC@CMU said. He explained that they cannot start yet with the project because they are still looking for a Halal slaughter house to use because it is not available in Maramag. He added that the Php4.5M budget has already been released for procurement of equipment needed. “The purpose [of the facility] is for fattening of buffaloes, using Halal feeding system, fabrication and product development, and marketing,” Dir. Paraguas explained. He said that he is confident that the Halal buffalo meat will be popular in the province because there is already a niche market in the area. “We can also target the international market because as far as I know, we do not have Halal buffalo meat competitor yet,” he stressed. For now, PCC@CMU has already identified the 24 buffaloes to be fattened. Paraguas explained that while they are looking for an available slaughter house, they will proceed with fattening and manufacturing of buffalo meat for local consumption. He explained that this is for the researchers to practice and be able to establish standard cuts and other processes needed to produce Halal buffalo meat. “We still have a lot to do but we really want to develop the buffalo meat industry here in Bukidnon,” he said.
