Policy Strategy for Halal Logistics Development in Indonesia

The current global economic trend is the halal industry which is characterized by a rapidly growing food industry involving a complex global market. In 2017, Indonesia was included in the top 10 countries with the largest halal industry consumers in the world based on Global Islamic Economy Indicator data. The Indonesian halal industry is still struggling with halal product certification but has not paid attention to the movement of goods to customers by paying attention to the transparency of raw material sources and contamination of halal products for Muslim residents and there are no guidelines for all parties in developing halal logistics in Indonesia. So, this study aims to map the strategy for the development of the halal logistics industry in Indonesia using a road mapping model. In formulating a strategy for government policies and facilities in supporting halal logistics, it refers to the six main drivers in the Indonesian National Logistics System Blueprint. The results of this study are a strategic roadmap for developing policies for the halal logistics industry in Indonesia from the aspects of commodities, infrastructure, business actors, human resource competence, information and communication technology, as well as regulations and policies, which are expected to contribute as draft recommendations for the government in policy making.
