Instituto Halal de Junta Islámica receives a visit from a BPJPH delegation to advance its accreditation renewal process in Indonesia, which will allow its certified companies to continue exporting to the Asian country and comply with the new regulations established by the Indonesian government. Since 2006, when it received recognition from the MUI, companies certified by the Instituto Halal have been exporting their products to Indonesia, which is one of the countries with the highest demand for halal products worldwide.
June – 2024
This evaluation is part of the process to obtain the renewal of the accreditation from Indonesia, a crucial step to comply with the new regulations established by the Indonesian government. Starting October 17, 2024, all industrial food and beverage products entering Indonesia must have Halal certification issued by a nationally accredited Halal certification body. This regulation underscores Indonesia’s commitment to the quality and conformity of imported Halal products, ensuring they meet both international and local standards.
Currently, companies certified by the Instituto Halal can continue exporting their products to Indonesia thanks to recognition by the MUI, the previously responsible entity for Halal product assurance, which has recognized the Instituto Halal since 2006. This reflects a long-standing relationship between the Instituto Halal and the Asian country, benefiting many companies in expanding their exports.
Indonesia, with a population of over 270 million people, is one of the largest consumers of Halal products in the world. The demand for Halal products in Indonesia includes food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer goods. The Halal market in Indonesia is estimated to be worth billions of dollars and continues to grow rapidly due to increasing consumer awareness and government support for Halal certification.
The renewal of the accreditation will represent a recognition for the Instituto Halal, reaffirming our commitment to the highest international Halal quality standards and allowing Halal-certified companies to continue entering and expanding in the Indonesian market.
With the growing Halal market in Indonesia and the strengthening of commercial relations between Spain and Indonesia, this accreditation renewal promises a bright future for Spanish companies looking to capitalize on the increasing demand for Halal products in Indonesia and the ASEAN region.
