15.12.2020 (themalaysianreserve.com) - FGV Transport Services Sdn Bhd (FGV Transport), a subsidiary of FGV Holdings Berhad (FGV) has received halal logistics certification from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) for 76 tanker trucks operating at its Pasir Gudang depot in Johor.

The halal logistics certification falls under the category of Halal Supply Chain Management System for transportation.

It includes transportation services for palm-based liquid products such as crude palm oil, palm kernel oil as well as processed palm oil.

“The recognition given by JAKIM for this first batch of tanker trucks is a first step in our efforts to develop the halal transportation segment in phases. In addition to meeting the increasing demand for halal logistics, it is also a benchmark towards comprehensively achieving halal certification for the Group’s future business operations,” FGV CEO Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan said in a statement today.

The tanker trucks received halal recognition in accordance with the quality standards set by Malaysia Standard MS2400-1:2010, where every aspect of Halalan Toyyiban and hygiene practices are observed to ensure the halal status of the products carried.

Four more FGV Transport operating depots in Kuantan (Pahang), Port Klang and Shah Alam (Selangor) as well as Sahabat (Sabah) will be carrying out the processes to obtain halal logistics certification by 2021.

FGV Transport also plans to expand the halal logistics certification scope to include a side curtain lorry early next year to meet the demand for halal transportation for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and other halal products. –– TMR
