TOMCL Becomes First Pakistani Meat Exporter Approved for Direct Supply to Carrefour UAE
In a major breakthrough for Pakistan’s meat industry, The Organic Meat Company Limited (TOMCL) has become the first Pakistani meat processor and exporter to receive direct export approval from Carrefour UAE, operated by Majid Al-Futtaim Hypermarket LLC.
Audit Success Paves the Way
This significant milestone was achieved following TOMCL’s outstanding performance in Carrefour’s Systems, Hygiene, and Operational Excellence Audit, where the company secured an impressive 94.89% score. The audit evaluated TOMCL’s full compliance with international quality, food safety, and supply chain standards, ensuring it met Carrefour’s stringent global criteria.
As a result, TOMCL is now listed as an official vendor for all Carrefour retail outlets in the UAE, further strengthening its position in the competitive Middle Eastern halal meat market.
A Major Leap in Global Expansion
TOMCL’s approval by one of the world’s leading hypermarket chains marks a strategic advancement in the company’s international growth plans. The move is expected to:
-
Boost export volumes to the UAE
-
Strengthen brand presence in premium retail segments
-
Enhance access to high-value consumers seeking certified halal meat
-
Support TOMCL’s positioning as a trusted global supplier
Company Statement
The management at TOMCL expressed pride in this achievement, saying:
“This milestone reflects our unwavering dedication to global standards in quality, traceability, and food safety. Representing Pakistan in the international halal meat industry is both an honor and a responsibility. We are thankful to the Carrefour UAE audit team, MAF Hypermarkets Pakistan (Private) Limited, and our technical and compliance teams for their continued support.”
Strengthening Pakistan’s Export Image
This development not only benefits TOMCL but also enhances Pakistan’s reputation as a credible halal meat exporter. With increasing demand for premium and traceable meat products in the Middle East, TOMCL is now better positioned to capture a larger share of this expanding market.
