BPJPH Encourages Acceleration of Halal Certification in the Health Industry
The Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) recently emphasized the importance of accelerating halal certification for the health industry in Indonesia. This step was conveyed during the Indonesia-Europe Business Forum held in Bali.
According to BPJPH, halal certification is not merely an administrative rule, but an essential part of the industry's readiness to compete in the global market. By obtaining halal certification, Indonesian health products are expected to be more easily accepted by consumers, both domestically and in the international market.
The health industry encompasses a wide range of products, from medicines to medical devices. BPJPH assesses that public awareness of products with guaranteed halal status continues to increase, so business players need to immediately adjust their production standards to comply with applicable regulations.
In the forum, BPJPH also invited business players from Europe to collaborate in developing the halal product ecosystem. This cooperation is expected to strengthen Indonesia's position as a future global halal industry hub.
In conclusion, the acceleration of this halal certification is a strategic step for the government to improve the quality and competitiveness of the national health industry. The government remains committed to providing convenience for business players in the process of obtaining such certification.
