Head of BPJPH Ahmad Haikal Hasan emphasised that strengthening the\nnational halal ecosystem involving all stakeholders is key to realising\ncoordinated and integrated halal certification implementation across all\nregions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough cross-sector collaboration, UMK actors not only gain\nunderstanding of Halal Product Assurance policies but also increasingly\ncomprehend the urgency of halal certification in their business\ndevelopment. In addition, we also ensure that UMK receives assistance\nand access to halal certification facilitation, including through the\nfree scheme provided by the government,\u201d Haikal stated in a written\nremark on Thursday (30\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cBusiness actors\u2019 readiness is an important factor in welcoming the\nmandatory halal implementation that we will carry out next October.\nTherefore, we encourage a solid ecosystem capable of ensuring\nintegrated, targeted, and sustainable assistance, facilitation, and\naccess to halal certification services for UMK across all regions,\u201d he\ncontinued.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Deputy for Halal Registration and Certification at BPJPH,\nMamat Slamet Burhanudin, stated that the halal ecosystem collaboration\nalso opens up service consultation spaces for business actors. This\nprovides opportunities for UMK to understand the process flow,\nrequirements, and obtain solutions to various obstacles faced in\napplying for halal certification.<\/p>\n
\u201cCoordination with local governments is focused on mapping business\nactors, data verification, and distribution of halal certification\nfacilitation quotas to be more targeted. Currently, we are also rolling\nout the free halal certification programme (SEHATI) funded by the BPJPH\nbudget. However, the number is still far from the number of UMK actors\nthroughout Indonesia. Therefore, this facilitation scheme must be\nimplemented collaboratively with all relevant stakeholders in all\nregions,\u201d Mamat explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cLocal governments have a strategic role due to their proximity to\nbusiness actors, especially UMK. Through coaching, assistance, and\nintegration of regional programmes, local governments can become the\ndriving force in accelerating halal certification in their areas,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
This ecosystem-based approach not only accelerates the halal\ncertification process but also promotes sustainable halal awareness. In\naddition, halal certification helps improve product quality, expand\nmarket access, and strengthen the competitiveness of UMK at national and\nglobal levels.<\/p>\n
With a increasingly solid halal ecosystem strengthening, UMK\u2019s\nreadiness to welcome the October 2026 mandatory halal implementation is\nexpected to increase, enabling its implementation to run optimally and\nprovide broad benefits to the national economy.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bpjph-collaborates-with-dpr-and-local-governments-to-strengthen-regional-halal-ecosystem-1777531945", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
