Abstract

Kullu Halal (all Halal) is a concept that is highly applied in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region as the majority of the population is Muslim. Many products from non-Muslim countries are also exported to the MENA countries and some of them are exposed to animal-based ingredients. Halal certification studies in the MENA region are found to be quite minimal to non-existent. The paper is designated to analyze the effects of Halal certification towards the purchase intention of Muslim consumers on food products from Muslim majority countries in the MENA countries. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was used as a platform to predict the consumers’ intention to purchase the Halal certified products. A self-administered questionnaire was selected as a method and the respondents are the Muslim consumers living in certain areas of Klang Valley, Malaysia. Five hundred questionnaires were distributed, and 417 questionnaires were considered usable. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used as a method in this research. Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioral Control showed a strong correlation with Purchase Intention and the results were statistically significant at p < 0.05. Algeria was found to be the least trustworthy country by the respondents, followed by Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and Bahrain. The results indicate that the presence of Halal certification is important and will be profitable for the food industry players in the MENA region. Despite being Muslim majority countries, it is important to ensure the presence of Halal certification in the products from MENA countries, especially from those that received low scores in the country of origin study.

Abstract

Considering Indonesia’s target to lead halal industry worldwide, the discussion upon the current practices of halal governance in the country is critical to get into a comprehensive insight. Several major drawbacks within the previous studies on this topic is found along the followings. There has never been a study that has specifically discussed the term of halal governance substantively or comprehensively investigated the subject matters in Indonesia. Driven by this gap, we set out to review halal governance practices in Indonesia by employing a qualitative method of documentary. In doing so, the present paper firstly discusses the substantive materials upon lines of defense in halal governance that covers the four themes, which the present paper particularly reviews as the current practices in Indonesia. From the present discussion, this paper offers the novelty on the explanation of lines of defense in halal governance, and that of the current practices in Indonesia along with the related issues presently associated with it. In addition, this paper further delivers the applicable advises for the improvement of the practices. This study is relevant for the stakeholders of halal industry including the domestic government agencies, practitioners and academics.
