Halal logistics as the basis of halal and healthy food and its potential contribution to the economy

Abstract

Enhancing logistics activities to achieve profitability while simultaneously maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction is a widely adopted approach by businesses. Within this context, the halal logistics industry has witnessed significant growth. Halal logistics services guarantee the halalness of food products throughout the supply chain, from raw material procurement to final delivery to customers, thereby mitigating any associated risks. The primary objective of this study is to highlight the economic benefits of halal logistics activities in the halal food supply chain. The study aims to contribute to the expansion of the industry and the provision of these services in multiple countries. The research examines the global halal food industry, emphasizing the strategic importance of halal logistics activities and distinguishing between traditional logistics activities and halal logistics activities. The study provides examples of halal logistics practices from around the world and recommends steps for other countries to enter the industry. Muslim countries transitioning from being served to serving in the halal logistics industry may increase their commercial value. Government sanctions may further encourage businesses to take halal food transportation seriously. The study presents numerous examples of halal logistics services from various countries.
