Indonesia to launch integrated halal products codification and trade data system by end-2021
JAKARTA – Indonesia will launch in the fourth-quarter a codification system for halal products integrated with trade data, as the biggest Muslim population moves towards its aim of becoming the world’s largest halal exporter.
Afdhal Aliasar, director of Halal Product Industry at the National Sharia Economy and Finance Committee (KNEKS) told Salaam Gateway the agency has been working with the customs and excise directorate general, ministry of finance, national single window agency (LNSW) and national halal agency BPJPH since the end of 2020 to complete the codification system.
The data will be integrated with LNSW data, which is already streamlined with 15 ministries and institutions including the Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Marine and Fishery, and the National Food and Drug Agency. LNSW data is also integrated with the goods traffic reporting system at more than 70 main seaports.
