Strengthening The Halal Industry in The Micro-Small Business Sector Through The Development of An Integrated Islamic Microfinance Institution Model
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The development of the halal industry in various sectors in Indonesia is supported by the existence of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee (JPH), which changes the ownership of halal certification from a voluntary to a mandatory basis. The enactment of the JPH Law is supported by the launch of the Sehati program (free halal certificate) for micro and small enterprise players. However, many micro and small enterprise players still lack interest and awareness of the halal certification process due to a lack of information about the program. Islamic microfinance institutions are informal financial institutions that play a crucial role as a capital solution, facilitating micro and small enterprises in obtaining halal certification. However, they still face obstacles in fulfilling their role. West Java is a province with the most significant number of micro and small enterprises in Indonesia, and DKI Jakarta is designated as a halal tourism area, which is expected to continue experiencing growth in the halal industry every year. Based on this analysis, a research study was conducted using a swot analysis on related parties, including micro and small enterprise players in the Jabodetabek area. It was concluded that Islamic microfinance institutions have not been able to provide maximum facilities to micro and small enterprises. It is hoped that this research will enable the government to create new regulations that facilitate easier access to halal certification for micro and small enterprise players and Islamic microfinance institutions.
