The Impact of Halal Certification on MSMEs: Improving Business Legality and Market Access

Abstract

Community Service in Sumber Duren Village aims to increase the understanding of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) regarding halal certification through a series of training and assistance on business legality. This activity focuses on three main aspects, namely creating a Business Identification Number (NIB), processing Halal certification through the Halal Center, and understanding the product registration process with the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). Through a participatory approach and based on community needs, this training not only provides theoretical understanding but also direct assistance in the legality application process. So the results of this activity show an increase in knowledge and awareness of MSME players regarding the importance of business legality to expand markets and increase product competitiveness. With stronger legality, MSMEs are expected to be able to increase their income in a sustainable manner.
