Indonesia’s Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) has announced that all products circulating in the domestic market, including imported goods, must obtain halal certification starting October 2026. The policy marks a key milestone in the full implementation of Law No. 33/2014 on Halal Product Assurance and Government Regulation No. 42/2024, which replaces the previous PP No. 39/2021. The requirement covers a wide range of sectors, from food and beverages to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and other consumer goods. The initiative reflects the government’s effort to ensure product compliance with national halal standards and strengthen Indonesia’s position as a leading player in the global halal industry.
As of 2025, more than 9.6 million products in Indonesia have obtained halal certification, with an additional 5,000 to 6,000 being certified each day. To accelerate the process, BPJPH is expanding cooperation with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs to facilitate data integration and simplify certification for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The policy also prioritizes inclusivity by encouraging traditional businesses, such as small eateries and local vendors, to complete certification in order to maintain consumer confidence. With this regulation, Indonesia seeks to enhance transparency, competitiveness, and consumer trust across all sectors, while ensuring that domestic and imported products meet unified halal assurance standards by the 2026 deadline.
