Halal Supply Chain Competencies

The global Halal industry is governed by Islamic ethical principles and dietary laws, which require a specialized workforce equipped with unique competencies (Abderahman et al., 2021). The Halal supply chain's complexity arises from, cultural and religious sensitivities, specific regulatory frameworks, transparency demands, sourcing challenges, logistical intricacies, rigorous certification, consumer preferences, market dynamics, risk management and the need for ongoing innovation. Navigating these multiple complexities is vital for maintaining resilience in the global Halal supply chain whilst meeting consumer expectations.
 This paper presents a formative framework for human capability development with regard to the Halal supply chain, with a special focus on ensuring its resilience. In recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals operating in the sector, directly and indirectly, the proposed harmonised framework offers a structured approach to Halal supply chain competency development (De Boni & Forleo, 2019). The framework comprises four key dimensions that deal with aspects of (i) Assurance, (ii) Socio-Cultural and Ethical (iii) Technical and Operational, and (iv) Market-Related. Organizations can potentially employ this framework to design training programs, assess their current capabilities and strategically develop their human resources, thereby ensuring the Halal supply chain can build resilience while delivering high-quality assured products to a global consumer base ensuring sustainable growth and prosperity, without compromising Islamic principles (Yaacob et al., 2018).

Challenges in the Halal Industry Ecosystem: Analyzing the Halal Certification Process for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara

This article examines the challanges of the halal industrial ecosystem by studying halal certification for MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) in Lombok. Halal certification has a good impact on small and medium businesses in Indonesia. Although previous research indicates that the proportion of halal-certified micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Lombok is still under 20%, this figure is steadily increasing, allowing for open competition. This article employs a qualitative methodology with a socio-legal economic analysis approach. Data were gathered through interviews with MSME business owners, Muslim consumers, and halal policy makers in Lombok. The findings reveal that halal certification plays a crucial role in enhancing MSME operations and promoting the development of halal tourism in Lombok.
