Although the regulation has been rolled out in stages since 2019, many business owners still complete documentation—not something that can be processed overnight.
With rising consumer awareness of clean, safe, and sharia-compliant products, a halal label is no longer a “bonus”—it’s a baseline.
The Halal Deadline Is Getting Closer
Meski sudah berlaku bertahap sejak 2019, masih banyak pelaku UMKM yang belum memahami urgensi sertifikasi halal. Bahkan, sebagian belum mengetahui bahwa prosesnya memerlukan waktu dan kelengkapan dokumen yang tidak bisa diselesaikan secara instan.
Apalagi di tengah meningkatnya kesadaran konsumen akan pentingnya produk yang aman, higienis, dan sesuai syariat, label halal bukan lagi nilai tambah—melainkan standar minimum.
Common Challenges for MSMEs
Here are typical hurdles faced by MSMEs when it comes to halal certification:
- Don’t know where or how to start
- Confused about what documents are needed
- Afraid the process will be expensive or complicated
- Unfamiliar with critical points in production that affect halal status
- Think their business is “too small” to need certification
Yet MSMEs are at the heart of consumer access. Ensuring halal compliance is a matter of both legal responsibility and public trust.
Start with Halal Check and Certification Guidance
MSMEs can begin with these actionable steps:
- Conduct a Halal Check on ingredients, processes, and distribution
- Prepare the necessary documents according to BPJPH standards
- Schedule an audit with a registered Halal Inspection Agency (LPH)
- Register the certification through the SIHALAL system
- Implement a Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH) for sustainability
This process becomes easier and more reliable when supported by experienced professionals.
