Improving the implementation of Indonesian halal logistics: a statistical approach

In Indonesia, only a limited number of logistics providers have obtained halal certification, despite halal logistics playing a crucial role in preserving product integrity and preventing crosscontamination. This study analyzes the implementation of halal logistics by identifying key variables that influence the availability of halal products in the Indonesian market. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected through surveys of 108 companies, including 35 logistics service providers and 73 halalcertified MSMEs, as well as semi-structured interviews with logistics service providers and MSME business actors in the food sector. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis to identify the most significant factors influencing the availability of halal products. The findings suggest that the availability of halal product information, consistent worker training, and corporate environmental responsibility are the primary variables influencing the availability of halal products. These insights provide a foundation for policymakers to develop regulations that strengthen halal logistics, enabling logistics providers and MSMEs to allocate resources more effectively and maintain halal product availability in the market. As one of the few studies examining halal logistics in Indonesia's food sector, this research contributes to the broader discourse on halal supply chain management and policy development. This study highlights the importance of stronger stakeholder collaboration in enhancing halal logistics sustainability in Indonesia. © 2025, Mercu Buana University. All rights reserved.
