5. Validating Halal Awareness and Practices
At the Forefront of the Global Halal Economy
Engaging MIDA and Relevant Stakeholders
Halal food exports in global markets are expected to reach USD3 trillion (RM13.3 trillion) by 2027, from USD2 trillion in 2021, according to the
‘Halal Food Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027’ report by Business Wire. This growth is
supported by the expanding global Muslim market which accounts for 24% of the world’s population equivalent to 1.9 billion people in 2022.
Major halal food product segments include meat, poultry and processed seafood, processed fruits and vegetables, dairy products, cereal and
grains, oil and fats, and confectionery. Asia Pacific leads markets with strong demand for halal products, followed by the Middle East, Africa,
Europe, North America and Latin America.
Global food and ingredient brands rapidly expand their presence in Asia, including Malaysia, which houses over 300 companies producing
international F&B brands. In addition, Malaysia is the first country to assign a government agency to regulate its halal matters and certification in
the global halal market. As a result, it continues to gain worldwide confidence and acceptance of halal food products produced locally.
With a headstart in building a well-structured halal regulation and ecosystem, the JAKIM and Halal Development Corporation Berhad (HDC) have
been entrusted to lead this dynamic sector. The two agencies carry out this task through a vast pool of knowledgeable talent that offer practical
solutions while improving mechanisms and infrastructure in applying and conforming with Malaysia’s Halal Industry Master Plan 2030.

The definition of halal is linked with the words permitted, allowed, lawful, and
legal (Razak et al., 2015). Halal products are not mixed with prohibited
elements, such as pork, alcohol, animal derivatives, and animal-based gelatines.
Permitted animals must be slaughtered according to Islamic rules (Rahman et
al., 2015). Muslims are required by religious rules to consume halal and clean
food (Ali et al., 2018). In other words, the element of halal must be placed
together with the element of thoyyib. Practicing halalan thoyyiban in the food
industry means that the raw materials used are halal and not mixed with non-
halal products during production and distribution (Talib, 2017). Halal practices
serve as a life guide for Muslims, including food consumption and lifestyle
(Wingett & Turnbull, 2017). By following the rules outlined by the religion
(Islam), Muslims can meet the Shariah requirements to improve their quality of
life and maintain people’s lives (Othman et al., 2017). According to Halal
Malaysia, the definition of halal as asserted in the Trade Description Order
(Usage of the Term “halal”) 1975 is as follows:
“When the term is used in relation to food in any form whatsoever, in the
process of trade or commerce as an aspect of trading or part of an aspect of
trading for the referred to food, the terms ‘halal’, ‘Guaranteed halal’ or
‘Muslims Food’ or any other terms that may be used to indicate or may be
understood as meaning to indicate as permissible to be consumed by Muslims
and allowed in their religion for the referred to food to be consumed, must
therefore mean the following, that is, the food for which such terms are being
used: a) does not stem from or consists of any part of or item from animals that
are forbidden to Muslims by Islamic law, or animals that have not been
slaughtered according to Islamic law; b) does not contain any substance that is
considered impure in Islamic law; c) is not prepared, processed or
manufactured using equipment or utensils that are not free from impurities”.
From the above definition, the halal item must be free from haram elements,
such as un-slaughtered animals, contaminated substances between haram and
halal ingredients, and produced with clean utensils and equipment.

21. An empirical research on relationship between demand, people and awareness towards training needs: A case study in
Malaysia Halal logistics industry
Abstract:
Recently, the Halal industry has a huge potential for market demand. The rising of Halal has made the consumers to think
twice before using any product because it is proven that Halal product can offer good quality, cleanliness, hygienic, safety,
authentic and nutritious. Halal has created awareness to the consumers and supplier to use or supply the good according to
Halalan Thoyyibban principle. Many logistics companies in Malaysia have adapted Halal in their operation. However, the lack
of employees, skills and experience become the major problem to operate Halal in their operations. There are not enough
skills and experience workers who can handle the consignment according to the Halal procedure. Hence, training in the Halal
logistics industry professional is crucial as the lack of professionalism in the transport and logistics process in the supply
chain may cast doubts on the Halal status of a product. The purpose of this research is to present the relationship between
the training needs in Halal logistics industry in Malaysia and investigates its relationship with demand, people and awareness.
The data collection instruments used was a questionnaire which was administrated to a total sample of 162 respondents
from the middle management level in the logistics companies who have the Halal certification by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam
Malaysia (JAKIM) or Halal Industry Corporation (HDC). Sample selection was based on purposive sampling. The analysis
involved statistical methods using Predictive Analytics Software (PASW) 18.0 such as reliability and validity test and multiple
regressions. The result indicated that training needs in Halal logistics industry are related to demand, people and awareness
which to explain the significant influence to the Halal logistics industry.

23. Traceability-Technology-Training (3T) Framework for Halal Logistics at Small Medium Enterprises
Abstract:
With the hype of blockchain technology in realizing the fourth industry revolution (4IR), it is perceived that there are
challenges in terms of commitment among the companies involved in the supply chain, mainly the small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) performing the logistics operations. In order to be the leading global Halal hub, Malaysia needs to
support these companies to ensure that halal traceability issues could be solved with the technology for 4IR. In most cases,
only manufacturer or producer is required to be awarded with halal certification, instead of every company within the
supply chain, which mainly covers the whole logistics operations. Regardless of the halal integrity at the source, the halal
compliance and traceability during the logistics processes would be in question if the products are not handled properly or
being mixed with non-halal products along the supply chain. This research has conducted interview survey on logistics SMEs
in Malaysia to investigate the issues regarding implementing new technology for halal traceability. As a result, this paper
proposes a conceptual Traceability-Technology-Training (3T) Framework as a guide for the governing bodies to support the
halal logistics initiative at company level, with bottom-up approach.

24. Tracking and tracing technology for halal product integrity over the supply chain
Abstract:
In order to accomplish the intent to further develop halal sector in Malaysia, something need to be done to introduce a
comprehensive and suitable tracking and tracing technology for sustain the integrity of halal product and to develop a
proper technological framework that can support the entire supply chain of halal product process. Tracking and tracing
technology for Halal Supply Chain in Malaysia are given less attention. To overcome the halal product integrity issue, and in
achieving the objective as halal hub country, Malaysia should setup alternative or solutions. Combinations of ICT technology
and halal supply chain world by develop a technology that could be imply in the halal supply chain process framework could
be one of the solutions. In information technology (IT) world, technologies suppose be the best formula to be added in to
make the world more convenience and effective living by all kind of culture and religion. In introducing the radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology to the Halal Supply Chain, there are several type of RFID in the market currently and which
one should be identified to be use in this problem area. In fact, before putting the new technology that been discussed,
modified original framework also should be count in too.

25. Traceability System of Halal Chicken Supply Chain
Abstract:
Halal authenticity together with toyyiban are necessities in Halal food supply chain including the Halal meat supply chain
(HMSC), where methods and processes in stages involved must be executed according to Syariah. Halal Traceability System
(HTS) is a key solution for verification of the Halal status of meats thus ensuring Halal integrity of the HMSC. Past studies
concerning HMSC, especially those related to the Halal chicken meat supply chains (HCMSC) are discussed. This paper also
describes some technologies that could be incorporated in the HTS by highlighting their impacts towards Halal transparency
and traceability in HCMSC other than quality and efficiency. This paper proposes a preliminary concept of a blockchain based
HCMSC Traceability System which makes use of QR code, RFID and IoT.

26. Internet of Things: A Key Enabler for the Sustainable Supply Chain Management
Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a buzzword today, and almost every industry sector is trying to incorporate it, as it is capable
of bringing astounding improvements to their work. This study examines how IoT can play a crucial role in attaining
sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Sustainable supply chain techniques are now essential in increasingly
globalized and linked world. Companies are under increasing pressure to retain economic viability while reducing their
environmental impact, improving resource efficiency, and ensuring ethical sourcing. IoT emerges as a disruptive technology
that can handle these difficulties, thanks to its capacity to gather, transfer, and analyze enormous amounts of real-time data.
The literature review sheds light on the facts as to how IoT-enabled sensors and devices may offer real-time visibility into the
supply chain, allowing businesses to track products, keep an eye on the environment, and plan out the best possible routes
for transportation. Improved forecasting accuracy, waste reduction, and demand planning are all benefits of integrating IoT
with the supply chain. However, there are obstacles in using IoT in supply chains, such as worries about data security and
privacy, problems with interoperability, and the requirement for substantial infrastructure investments. In conclusion, the
incorporation of IoT as a key element of supply chain management has significant potential for advancing sustainability goals.
The findings emphasizes that IoT has a significant impact on the development of sustainable supply chains and empowers
organizations to function more effectively and efficiently meet their social, economic, and environmental objectives.

27. Halal supply chain critical success factors: a literature review
Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study is to discover the critical success factors (CSFs) for the Halal supply chain management because this area is gaining recognition. Plus, the
aim is to use the CSFs for future research.
Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on the application of CSFs on the Halal supply chain. A comprehensive literature review is undertaken to discover the CSFs of conventional
supply chain and to apply it to the Halal supply chain.
Findings
Government support, transportation planning, information technology, human resource management, collaborative relationship, Halal certification and Halal
traceability are the CSFs for the Halal supply chain.
Research limitations/implications
This study only discusses the CSFs related to the Halal supply chain and ignoring other forms of Halal businesses. This study only concerns on English
literatures and omit other languages. The study lacks empirical evidence and future research should be done to test the CSFs relevancy.
Practical implications
This study addresses stakeholders of the Halal supply chain CSFs, which have not been fully understand and appreciated.
Originality/value
CSFs concept has never been attempted on the Halal supply chain. Therefore, this study appraises the concept of CSFs and adds value to the knowledge on the
Halal supply chain.

28. Traceability technology, halal logistics brand and logistics performance: religious beliefs and beyond
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Halal traceability technology usage on Halal logistics performance with a Halal logistics brand as a
mediator.
Design/methodology/approach
An online survey was conducted to gather responses from logistics service providers (LSPs), including strategic logistics units (manufacturing/brand owners) in
Malaysia, which offer Halal logistics services.
Findings
Halal traceability technology system and Halal traceability training are two critical domains to strengthen market recognition of Halal logistics brand for LSPs.
The study found that the Halal logistics brand played a mediating role in connecting the usage of Halal traceability technology and logistics performance.
Practical implications
The logistics industry needs to focus on Halal logistics services as a unique proposition. The ability of LSPs to build a Halal logistics brand thru traceability
technology had created positive impressions for clients. LSPs must consistently engage in Halal training and remain technologically alert to build Halal brand
value. Halal-based strategic branding will assist an LSP to stand out among its competitors.
Originality/value
Even though Halal branding has been studied widely, little attention has been given to how the usage of Halal traceability technology can improve Halal
logistics branding and logistics operational performance. The result suggests that LSPs need to build a Halal logistics brand and design a proper logistics
business strategy to target Sharia compliance-oriented consumers.

29. Traceability System in Halal Procurement: A Bibliometric Review
Abstract
Background: The increasing Muslim population worldwide will increase the Islamic market share in the future. Thus, the
higher demand for halal food has caused the food industry to pay attention to the quality control system for the ingredients
used. This paper aims to review the previous literature regarding the traceability system for halal suppliers in the food
supply chain to achieve the specified halal standards. It discusses the literature review as a method for conducting research
and offers an overview of different types of reviews, as well as some guidelines to both conduct and evaluate a literature
review. Methods: The method uses a sample of about 200 articles from the structured literature study period in 2007–2021.
We use Perish application to identify journals, articles, citations, authors, and keywords. Results: The analysis reveals five
research topic clusters: traceability, halal supply chain, food supply chain, halal logistics, and halal lifestyle. There is a strong
relationship between procurement and traceability. Procurement is related to the food industry and halal traceability. The
food product traceability system provides transparency in food manufacturing, enabling customers to trust halal product
claims. The results show that food supply chain information systems can enable traceability and transparency. Conclusions:
The review of this analysis is related to the supplier traceability system in the halal-food-production supply chain, which
can help explore halal supplier issues and trends. For future research, technology can be used within a traceability system
in the halal food industry, such as data interchange, radio frequency identification, and blockchain.
