To address challenges in sourcing halal raw materials, LPPOM hosted the \"Halal Raw Materials Store, First Step Towards Resilient MSMEs\" festival in Jakarta, attended by hundreds of MSME actors. This initiative aligns with Government Regulation No. 42\/2024 and Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 768\/2021, emphasising the need for certified halal supply chains to bolster Indonesia's halal industry ecosystem.",
        "content": "<p>The Halal Inspection Agency (LPH) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics\nAssessment Institute (LPPOM) is continuously strengthening assistance\nfor micro and small business actors (MSMEs) ahead of the mandatory halal\ncertification enforcement in October 2026. This obligation applies to\nMSMEs in the food and beverage sector, slaughtering services, and\nservices related to food and beverage products. The provisions are\nregulated in Government Regulation Number 42 of 2024 on the\nImplementation of Halal Product Assurance and Minister of Religious\nAffairs Regulation Number 768 of 2021. As an effort to accelerate MSME\nreadiness, LPPOM held the Peak of Syawal Festival 1447 Hijriah themed\n\u201cHalal Raw Materials Store, First Step Towards Resilient MSMEs\u201d in\nJakarta on Thursday (30\/4\/2026). The event was attended by hundreds of\nMSME actors from various regions. LPPOM MUI\u2019s Director General, Muti\nArintawati, stated that the theme was chosen because many MSME actors\nstill consider the halal certification process complicated, especially\nin meeting halal raw material requirements. She exemplified that cake,\nbread producers, and meatball vendors often face obstacles in finding\nhalal raw materials, particularly in traditional markets. Many\ningredients such as meat and spices are still sold in bulk without\npackaging or clear labels regarding their halal status. According to\nMuti, the existence of certified halal raw material stores is very\nimportant to strengthen the halal supply chain from upstream to\ndownstream. This aligns with the provisions in PP 42\/2024 and Permenag\n768\/2021, which mandate halal certification for raw material stores for\nthe food, beverage, drug, and cosmetic industries.<\/p>",
