        "summary": "The Nahdlatul Ulama Scholars Association (ISNU) in East Java has trained and certified 35 participants as professional halal slaughterers over a two-day programme in Surabaya, addressing the national shortage of certified personnel crucial for the upstream halal industry. This initiative emphasises the importance of compliant slaughtering practices to ensure the halal integrity of meat products, enabling broader involvement of NU communities in the halal value chain. By building human resources in halal certification, ISNU aims to boost consumer confidence in market-sold meats and support small businesses in obtaining halal certifications.",

Surabaya (ANTARA) - The Nahdlatul Ulama Scholars\nAssociation (ISNU) East Java has trained dozens of professional halal\nslaughterers through training and competency assessments in Surabaya to\nstrengthen the upstream sector of the halal industry and meet the\nlimited national need for certified slaughterers. \u201cWe selected\nparticipants from districts and cities across East Java to obtain\nprofessional halal slaughterers. And alhamdulillah, the participants\nwere declared competent by the BNSP assessors,\u201d said the Secretary of\nthe Regional Management (PW) ISNU East Java, Muhammad Dawud, in a\nstatement in Surabaya on Monday. A total of 35 PW and Branch Management\n(PC) ISNU officials from across East Java attended the two-day halal\nslaughterer training and competency test on Saturday-Sunday (2-3\/5) at\nSurabaya Suites Hotel. The participants received training on animal\nslaughtering materials in accordance with sharia and technical\nstandards, as well as practical slaughtering at the Pegirian Surabaya\nAnimal Slaughterhouse (RPH). However, the number of competent personnel\navailable remains limited to date, even though the halal status of\nanimal food products is highly determined by the slaughtering process.\nAccording to him, halal certification of food products does not only\ndepend on the production process but also on slaughtering methods that\ncomply with sharia and technical standards. \u201cTherefore, ISNU East Java\nis striving to prepare human resources with competencies in halal\nproduct assurance,\u201d he stated. According to him, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)\nmembers need to actively participate in the halal industry, including in\nthe upstream sector of animal food supply. \u201cISNU can reach the\ngrassroots level of society, which mostly consists of Nahdliyin members.\nThus, the public will no longer doubt the halal status of meats and\nchickens sold in markets,\u201d said the caregiver of Raudlatul Ulum\nPesantren in Suramadu. Ma\u2019ruf Khozin assessed that ISNU cannot only\noperate in the fields of da\u2019wah and education but also needs to enter\nthe halal industry value chain professionally and systematically.\nPreviously, ISNU East Java has assisted micro and small business actors\nin obtaining around 200,000 halal certificates through the ISNU Halal\nSolution Agency (LSH), which is an official Halal Product Process\nAssistant (P3H). Now, ISNU East Java is strengthening the upstream\nsector\u2019s capacity through the training of certified halal slaughterers\nas the initial link in the halal industry.<\/p>",
