Abstract

This research aims to map the literacy and inclusion of halal products in Muslim communities and their impact on the halal industry in Indonesia. The design of this research is a field study with a mixed approach (descriptive quantitative-qualitative). The population of this research is the local residence in general and the academic community of Islamic universities in particular. The number of research respondents was 103 people obtained from distributing questionnaires via Google Forms. Because the population size is unknown, the sample was determined using the Lameshow model based on the convenience sample. From the data processing, it was concluded that literacy and inclusion of halal products among the public were categorized as high—aspects of knowledge of halal ingredients, halal products, and halal labels in the high category. Respondents' understanding and knowledge of "halal" came from ulama, the internet, social media, and others. The community's "halal" literacy in the form of use and priority of using halal products is also categorized as high. They also support the government to make "Indonesia" the world's Halal Hub. These findings, it can be understood that if literacy and community inclusion in the regions are high, it can support Indonesia to reach halal industry development.

Abstract

The implementation of halal certification for animal-based food products at the local level is greatly influenced by the competence of Halal Slaughterers (JULEHA). This community service research aims to improve the understanding, skills, and awareness of slaughterers regarding the importance of slaughtering by Islamic law and national regulations. The implementation method employed a two-day approach combining socialization, education, and participatory seminars, involving 50 participants from three sub-districts in Pekalongan Regency. Pre-test results indicated that 74% of participants had low levels of understanding. Following training, 68% achieved high levels of experience, with an average score increase of 33.9 points. Observation results showed that over 85% of participants were able to apply halal slaughtering techniques correctly. The evaluation also revealed that 92% of participants were motivated to pursue formal halal certification. In conclusion, this training effectively enhanced the competencies of local slaughterers and fostered a community-based halal food ecosystem. Further recommendations include replicating the program in other regions and providing ongoing capacity building through strategic cross-institutional partnerships.
