Indonesia halal certification and market expansion

Overview

Indonesia is expanding its halal certification requirements and strengthening its position within the global halal economy. Under the Halal Product Assurance Law, new regulations managed by the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) are set for implementation by October 17, 2026. These rules require processed food items containing specific additives or ingredients to obtain halal certification from Indonesia or recognized foreign bodies, though naturally halal products may qualify for exemptions.

This regulatory shift impacts international trade partners, such as Thailand, where exporters are being urged to review certification processes to maintain access to the Indonesian market. Domestically, Indonesia is positioning its halal ecosystem—spanning food, pharmaceuticals, finance, and logistics—as a major driver of economic growth, with potential GDP contributions estimated between Rp4,900 trillion and Rp5,000 trillion. Efforts to integrate small businesses into this landscape include initiatives like the Karya Kreatif Indonesia event and expansions by Halal Network International.
