<![CDATA[This community service program aims to assist small-scale producers of "Ibu Suprapti" traditional herbal in Sidomulyo Village, Purwoasri District, Kediri Regency, in obtaining halal certification through the "Self-declare" scheme facilitated by the BPJPH's SIHALAL system. The program addresses challenges stemming from the producers' limited understanding of halal certification requirements, the Business Identification Number (NIB) registration process, and digital documentation procedures. The series of activities included raising awareness about the urgency of halal certification—particularly in light of the mandatory deadline in Indonesia set for October 2026—providing direct assistance with NIB registration via the OSS system, offering guidance on completing "Self-declare" documentation within the SIHALAL system, and conducting evaluations through interviews and observations. The results indicate that participating producers gained a clearer understanding of the halal certification process, successfully registered their business identities, and completed the necessary "Self-declare" documents; indeed, halal certificates were subsequently issued by BPJPH for several producers. The program also heightened producer awareness regarding product legality and market competitiveness. Overall, this structured assistance proved effective in helping home-based MSMEs navigate the halal certification process, despite limitations in digital literacy and administrative experience.]]>
