        "summary": "Indonesia's Halal Product Assurance Organising Agency (BPJPH) has invited halal certification bodies from China to enhance synergy and harmonise halal standards ahead of the mandatory halal implementation in October 2026. This initiative, starting with China due to its significant number of halal institutions and trade volume with Indonesia, aims to facilitate smoother and more selective exports while ensuring product quality from upstream to downstream. The effort is part of broader plans to position the halal sector as a key contributor to national economic targets through strengthened international cooperation and sustainable global halal industry growth.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia, through the Halal Product Assurance\nOrganising Agency (BPJPH), has invited overseas halal institutions\n(LHLN) from China to strengthen synergy and harmonise halal standards\nbetween the two countries towards the implementation of mandatory halal\ncertification in October 2026. \u201cWith the spirit of Indonesia, it is\nmutually beneficial for the bilateral economy of both countries, making\nexports easier but more selective,\u201d said BPJPH Head Ahmad Haikal Hasan\nin his statement in Jakarta on Wednesday. One such effort, Haikal\ncontinued, was carried out through a meeting and discussion held earlier\nthis week. He conveyed that his agency invited all LHLN from China,\nnumbering around 18 institutions, to discuss and align the application\nof halal regulations in force in Indonesia with practices already in\nplace in China. \u201cThis becomes an important part in guaranteeing the\nquality of halal products from upstream to downstream. So, I am calling\nthe LHLN from China for us to jointly build a better economy,\u201d he said.\nAccording to Haikal, China was the first country invited to this forum\nbecause it has the largest number of LHLN and significant product volume\nin trade relations with Indonesia. In addition, China is also considered\none of the pioneers in the global halal industry with continuously\nincreasing halal product production up to 2026. In the future, BPJPH\nplans to hold similar meetings with halal institutions from other\ncountries, including those in the European region. \u201cThis effort is part\nof efforts to promote the halal sector as a major contributor to\nachieving national economic targets,\u201d said Haikal. \u201cThrough this forum,\nBPJPH hopes that international cooperation in halal product assurance\nwill become stronger and able to drive sustainable growth in the global\nhalal industry,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
