Overview

In recent years, Indonesia’s expanding focus on halal products has reflected increasing consumer demand and a national push to strengthen the Islamic economy. Official data issued by the Ministry of Finance has revealed a sharp increase in the number of halal certificates issued, which have risen from a total of 11,017 in 2021 to 673,984 in 2024, indicating growing awareness among business actors and the public of the importance of halal assurance.[1] This trend highlights the need for a system to be put in place that guarantees transparency and accountability throughout the halal product supply chain and that works across Indonesia.
