Halal Supply Chain Management

Indonesia, the largest halal market in the world, is taking the halal industry to the next level by developing a premium 500 hectares halal industrial park in Indonesia, about 68 km west of Jakarta. This park is a signature halal development, very different from conventional halal parks as seen in several countries. This halal park provides a complete halal food+ cluster by design for halal industries, logistics service providers, traders, and halal services. It makes halal sourcing, production and supply chain management easier for both SMEs and large companies. We have been privileged being involved in the development of Modern Halal Valley in Indonesia, and would be most pleased to share more details on this development.

Halal supply chains are vulnerable to contamination, risk of contamination and perception issues, providing reputational risks for brand owners operating supply chains in and for Muslim markets. Halal requires a supply chain approach in order to ensure the integrity of a halal product, similar to food safety. Therefore, the halal assurance system of a company should go beyond ingredients and production process. Halal certification for a supply chain would not limit the audit and certification process  to production  facilities,  with their  compliant  halal ingredients,  but  also certify the entire halal supply chain based on a more comprehensive halal assurance system covering end-to-end supply chain standard operating procedures. But, is the certification of an end-to-end halal supply chain even possible? For the full article, please visit  https://icrjournal.org/icr/index.php/icr/article/view/728 .
