This research analyzes the halal food market in Croatia and identifies problems and opportunities related to the halal certification in Croatia. Research questions are: 1) What is halal food?, 2) What are the conditions for obtaining halal certificate?, 3) What is the demand for halal in Croatia? and 4) Do business opportunities related to the production and distribution of halal food exist in Croatia? As theoretical base for this thesis were used domestic and foreign secondary sources. Survey was conducted on the and in-depth interviews on a sample of six Croatian food producers whose products are halal certificated. Results of the survey suggest that most respondents are not as familiar with halal food and are unsatisfied with the offer and the availability of halal products in their local stores. Results of in-depth interviews imply that Croatian manufacturers of halal food are satisfied with demand in Croatia but their development is mainly due to export. Main problem is lack of information referred to the general public on the importance of the halal certificate and a relatively small number of suppliers in Croatia. The conclusion is that there are opportunities for further investments in development and production of halal food, but there is a need to better promote products and educate customers about the benefits and importance of halal certification.
