In Paraguay, the First Business Meeting on Kosher Certification was held, a strategic event that marked the formal beginning of the alliance between Aleph Kosher and ISO GO Company.
The objective was clear: to provide Paraguayan companies with practical tools so their products can compete and make an impact in international markets through kosher certification and specialized technical guidance.
Three Fundamental Pillars of the Meeting
The event was structured around three key pillars:
1️⃣ What Is Kosher?
The technical and regulatory scope of certification was explained, along with the halachic principles applicable to the food and chemical industries, and how the kosher standard goes beyond religion to become a globally recognized seal of quality and traceability.
2️⃣ How Does a Company Become Certified?
The process was detailed, including: raw material analysis, supplier review, production line evaluation, equipment control, rabbinical inspections, and certificate issuance.
Each participating company had the opportunity to assess its specific case and understand how to apply the process to its own operations.
3️⃣ Commercial Benefit: Why Is It Advantageous for a Company?
The real impact was addressed in markets such as the United States, Europe, and Israel, where the kosher seal facilitates access to buyers, supermarkets, and international retail chains.
Certification not only opens doors within the Jewish market but also among consumers seeking products with higher levels of control and internationally recognized standards.
Inspiring Success Stories
One of the most notable moments was the testimony of Oxiquimica SRL, an already certified company, which shared its experience and explained how Aleph Kosher’s guidance facilitated the process and optimized implementation timelines.
These types of cases demonstrate that kosher certification is not a technical obstacle, but rather a well-structured commercial strategy.
Strategic Support in Paraguay
The alliance with ISO GO Company, led by its manager Juan Camilo Otálora, aims to support companies in the initial phase through:
- Preliminary diagnosis
- Identification of requirements
- Documentation organization
- Audit preparation
This ensures that the process becomes faster, clearer, and more efficient for each company.
During the event, our delegate, Rabbi Rafael Tawil, explained in detail the benefits, international reach, and technical backing that Aleph Kosher provides through more than 15 years of experience.
