Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR), 2026, vol. 8, issue 2

Abstract: The US halal food market, growing 7.5 percent annually, reflects rising demand and demographic shifts. We discuss challenges in pricing, supply, and certification. Findings reveal a halal premium ranging from 4 percent to 118 percent, reliance on imports, and regulatory gaps, underscoring the need for stronger domestic production and supply chain standards.
