        "summary": "Indonesia's BPJPH has announced that halal certification will become mandatory for the logistics sector by 2026, extending the halal principle to the entire supply chain including storage, packaging, and distribution to ensure product integrity. This measure aims to protect domestic MSMEs from non-compliant foreign imports and maintain strict separation of halal and non-halal goods. The policy, effective from October 18, 2026, is expected to enhance public trust and global competitiveness of Indonesian products through a robust national halal ecosystem.",
        "content": "<p>BPJPH Head Ahmad Haikal Hasan, in a statement in Jakarta on Monday,\nsaid that this requirement stems from the fact that the halal concept is\nnot limited to food and beverage products; it also encompasses the\nentire supply chain, including distribution and logistics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHalal certainty in the logistics sector is a key part of halal\nproduct guarantee. This is not only about the final products, but also\nthe storage, packaging, and distribution processes that must be in\naccordance with the halal principle,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He further underscored that halal certification can serve as a\nstrategic barrier to entry, protecting domestic micro, small, and medium\nenterprises (MSMEs) from an influx of foreign products that do not meet\nhalal standards.<\/p>\n<p>He asserted that the logistics sector is not permitted to delay the\nimplementation of halal certification, as it aligns with the nationwide\nenforcement of the full halal certification mandate in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Hasan highlighted the importance of managing critical\ncontrol points within the logistics process, emphasizing that halal and\nnon-halal products must be strictly separated to maintain halal\nintegrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHalal and non-halal products, such as meat, must be stored\nseparately. This is a mandatory standard that all logistics providers\nmust fulfill,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that the synergy between the government and the\nlogistics industry will grow stronger to build a national halal\necosystem that is both integrated and globally competitive.<\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian government is set to implement the mandatory halal\ncertification policy starting on October 18, 2026, which covers food and\nbeverage products, raw materials, and additives, as well as related\nservices circulated and traded in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The policy is expected to increase public trust in Indonesian\nproducts and boost their competitiveness both domestically and\nglobally.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Eid momentum drives Indonesia\u2019s halal assurance push:\nBPJPH<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia to enforce mandatory halal certification in\nOctober 2026<\/p>\n<p>Related news: US shows commitment to Indonesia\u2019s halal rules:\nBPJPH<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Arnidhya Nur, Raka Adji<\/p>",
