UNISMA Halal Center Strengthens Halal Certification Assistance in Eastern Indonesia

Published 2026-10-20

The Halal Center of the Islamic University of Malang (UNISMA) remains committed to supporting government policies regarding the mandatory halal certification by 2026. This concrete step is realized through capacity building for Halal Product Process Assistants (P3H), particularly in the Eastern Indonesia region.

This program aims to increase the number of halal-certified products in areas where access to information is still limited. With the presence of trained assistants, micro and small business owners are expected to more easily understand the procedures for halal certification applications established by the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH).

In addition to providing technical training, the UNISMA Halal Center also focuses on education regarding the importance of halal product assurance for consumers. This is considered crucial because halal certification is not merely an administrative requirement, but also a quality standard that can increase the competitiveness of local products in the national market.

This activity is part of a collaborative effort to accelerate the government's target of creating an inclusive halal industry ecosystem throughout Indonesia. The organizers hope that this capacity building can reach more business actors in remote areas.

In conclusion, this initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy. With an increasing number of products bearing the halal label, public trust in domestic products will grow, which will ultimately support national economic growth leading up to 2026.
