Danish Halal and logistics for Indonesia

Indonesia and Denmark are working together to strengthen halal logistics and packaging standards through training and workshops in Jakarta.

Indonesia’s Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) and the Roayl Embassy of Denmark say they are strengthening cooperation to improve standards and education around halal logistics and halal packaging materials. The initiative is aimed at supporting a more transparent and integrated halal supply chain as the halal industry grows.

BPJPH deputy Abd Syakur said halal logistics is becoming more critical as supply chains expand and become more complex. He added that Indonesia sees potential to play a larger global role in the halal economy, but that progress depends on building a strong logistics and packaging ecosystem that meets international expectations.

Danish Ambassador to Indonesia Sten Frimodt Nielsen welcomed Indonesia’s work on halal product assurance and described Indonesia’s halal certification system as structured. He also said halal processes should be seen as supporting efficient logistics, and that broad regulations require close cooperation between government and industry.

The partnership was highlighted by a two-day workshop in Jakarta on 9–10 December 2025 focused on halal logistics, supply chain management, and packaging materials. Attendees included representatives from Denmark’s Agriculture and Food Council, Indonesia’s National Standardization Agency, the Indonesian Logistics Association, and industry participants from both countries.

BPJPH said the workshop and wider collaboration are intended to strengthen standards and best practices, build industry capacity, and speed up implementation of halal logistics and packaging materials that can compete internationally.
