Abstract

This study explores the potential of blockchain technology to enhance the efficiency and transparency of halal certification processes for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia. Significant challenges such as complex procedures, high costs, and lack of accountability in conventional systems necessitate technological innovation. Through case studies of halal-sector SMEs in East Java and stakeholder interviews, this research analyzes how blockchain can document supply chains, verify raw material halal status, and streamline audits. Results demonstrate that blockchain implementation reduces verification time by 40%, cuts administrative costs by 25%, and increases consumer trust through real-time data transparency. The study also identifies technical challenges including limited digital literacy and infrastructure requirements. These findings recommend collaboration between the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH), SMEs, and technology providers to develop user-friendly integrated platforms. This research provides practical contributions to accelerating halal certification while supporting Indonesia's vision as a global halal industry hub.
