Abstract. Banyuwangi is one of the regions in Indonesia which is experiencing massive tourism growth. This also encourages growth in related sectors, one of which is the food industry. MSMEs in the food industry continue to grow in Banyuwangi, and the level of concern for halal-certified products continues to increase. This research aims to help optimize digitally certified halal MSMEs with the ease of submitting halal certification online. It is expected to increase the interest of MSME actors to take care of halal certification. This study uses SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges for halal food products in Banyuwangi. Respondents in this study are certified Halal Companions, MSMEs in the food sector, and the Cooperative Office. Results show that the lack of information related to halal certification among business owners is one of the problems that are widely encountered. Massive dissemination of information related to halal certification to businesses through various media is suggested. In addition, meeting business owners directly is expected to minimize this gap.

A halal lifestyle using halal-certified products is a vital necessity for Muslims. It allows Indonesia to become the world's largest producer and servicer of halal products. However, many uncertified halal products are circulating in the community, and the number of certified halal items tends to be small. Several factors influence the low quality of halal certification products. This Research aimed to identify factors influencing halal certification: education, knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and awareness. The Type of research was crossectional research. The research was conducted in the Ngawi district by comparing entrepreneurs with halal certification and entrepreneurs who still need to have halal certification, with the number of each sample of 26 entrepreneurs. The technique of sampling was purposive sampling. These research variables are factors associated with halal certification, including the level of education, knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and awareness of the entrepreneur acquired through interviews using validated questionnaires and the reliability of the questionnaire. The education, knowledge, and attitude data were analyzed using a chi-square test. The behavior and halal awareness were analyzed using the Fisher test. The statistical test results showed a p-value of < 0.001 on the variables of knowledge, education, attitude, and behavior, so it can be said that knowledge, education, behavior, and attitude positively affect halal certification. However, based on the statistical test on the halal awareness variable, the relationship test results of p-value > 0.05, so it can be said that halal awareness does not positively affect halal certification.

Economic Development And Growth In Indonesia According To Law Sharia Economy

Banking has an important role in the development and support of the country's economy, especially after the enactment of Law Number 10 of 1998 concerning Banking. Islamic economics in Indonesia has now begun to be recognized and approved by the public, given the proliferation of Islamic-based banks making people understand the systems in Islamic economics. The establishment of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) in 1975 triggered the establishment of Islamic banks around the world including Indonesia. The birth of Law Number 21 of 2008 concerning Islamic Banking is a guarantee for the existence and legal protection of Islamic banking after the last decade of its existence which only regulates one of the principles of profit sharing which does not definitively and comprehensively regulate bank activities based on sharia principles. The method used in this research uses qualitative research methods using interview, observation and documentation techniques. This type of research uses descriptive analysis. The development of Islamic economic law in the future must increasingly refer to the protection of the benefit of the people by using maqashid sharia as a methodology and perspective. To establish economic law that falls within the scope of muamalah fiqh, a comprehensive mastery of ushul fiqh is absolutely necessary, especially to find and determine the legal illat for ongoing economic practices. Failure to determine the illat leads to failure to master the source of the problem. The current Islamic economics only talks a lot about distribution and consumption, such as the distribution of money and capital claimed to be without usury and halal product certification, and does not appear to talk much about production and all aspects related to it, such as ownership of land, resources, capital and by the private sector and conglomerates, including the fulfillment of labor rights, destruction of nature by production activities, and so on. The determination of the illat and maqashid of sharia in the economic field is also expected to pay more attention to the material conditions in which unequal production relations between community groups have resulted in economic colonization and which are very detrimental to society, especially those who are in a weak position in terms of capital, resources and power.

Urgensi Sertifikasi Produk Halal Perspektif Maqasid Al-Syariah Al-Ghazali

Maqasid Al-Syariah is the initial gateway that must be passed in order for Islam to become a religion that is able to realize benefits and implement its expectations as a religion that is relevant to current developments. To realize benefits in the form of a halal lifestyle, a guarantee is needed that covers all needs for a halal lifestyle. In Indonesia, to realize this guarantee, a law was issued requiring all products in circulation to be halal certified by BPJPH (Halal Product Guarantee Organizing Agency). This research aims to describe the objectives and wisdom of establishing mandatory rules for halal product certification using Al-Ghazali's maqasid al-syariah theory. This research is a type of qualitative library research (library study) which is carried out by collecting data and information from various sources contained in the literature. This research results in the conclusion that the obligation to certify halal products is oriented towards Al-Ghazali's maqasid al-syariah, namely bringing benefit and rejecting harm. Halal product certification is included in maqasid al-syariah which is related to religion and the world and is based on five principles of benefit, namely protecting religion, soul, reason, lineage and property.

Legal Awareness of Micro and Small Enterprise Operators Regarding Halal Certification: A Maslaha Perspective

The halal certification of food products is essential for consumer protection and should be harmonized with the practices of small-scale micro-producers to ensure security and mutual benefits in accordance with Islamic teachings. However, micro-businesses have been observed to possess varied perceptions toward the certification program. Based on this understanding, the present study aims to categorize awareness of the benefits and legal aspects of digitalizing the process of obtaining the certification using a theoretical legal system approach. In order to achieve the stated objective, qualitative data was gathered from different sources such as micro-business owners, halal certifiers, and beneficiaries of halal-certified food products. The obtained results showed that micro-businesses in serang-Banten often register for halal certification due to regulatory requirements and potential sanctions, rather than a deep understanding of the benefits of halal-certified products. This finding emphasized the persistence of a lack of significant awareness among micro-businesses regarding the advantages of obtaining halal certification. Accordingly, during the course of the investigation, the dominant challenges experienced include administrative complexities in the self-declaration process and the availability of qualified halal certifiers for high-risk food ingredients. To address these issues, there is an essential necessity for the development of a streamlined certification system that supports micro-businesses, facilitates application processes, and monitors the potential misuse of fake halal logos. Lastly, following the observations made, it can be inferred that digitizing the process of halal certification for both the registration and labeling of food products would improve consumer confidence and ease supervision.
