Operations of halal logistic services

Abstract

Halal logistics services play a critical role in the transportation and distribution of halal-certified goods. These services conduct various operations that must comply with rigorous halal certification criteria and relevant national and international laws and norms. Despite the challenges involved in ensuring compliance with diverse certification standards, halal logistics services remain an essential component of the global halal business. The lack of uniformity in halal certification across many nations and areas is one of the major problems facing halal logistics services. This might make it challenging to ensure that goods satisfy the criteria for halal certification in various markets. Some halal logistics providers have formed agreements with halal certification organizations and other stakeholders to handle this issue and make sure that their operations satisfy the requirements of various markets. Purchasing, moving, storing, and distributing are a few of the actions involved in halal logistics operations. From the point of origin to the point of consumption, these services must adhere to stringent halal certification requirements. They must also follow several national and international rules and guidelines for the handling, shipping, and storage of goods, including those for the security and safety of food. This chapter explores adherence to halal certification criteria, compliance with national and international regulations, sourcing of halal-certified products, storage and handling of products, transportation and distribution of products, and partnerships with halal certification bodies.
