THE ROLE OF HALAL CERTIFICATION IN ENHANCING THE ADDED VALUE OF LOCAL FOOD: A CASE STUDY OF CABUK WIJEN FROM WONOGIRI, INDONESIA

2025-12-26T21:56:52+07:00

Abstract: This study examines the role of halal certification in enhancing the added value of local food products, with a particular focus on cabuk wijen, a traditional dish from Wonogiri, Central Java. As global demand for halal food continues to grow, cabuk wijen—a fermented product made from sesame oil cake using traditional processing methods—represents a promising candidate for entry into international halal markets. Halal certification not only ensures compliance with Islamic dietary law but also strengthens consumer confidence, among both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers, by underscoring food safety and ethical production practices. The study employs a narrative literature review that analyzes journal articles, books, and policy documents relevant to halal certification, local food, and the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These sources were purposively selected based on their thematic relevance and contribution to understanding value enhancement. The analysis indicates that halal certification increases the added value of cabuk wijen through several key mechanisms: reinforcing perceptions of safety and quality, expanding market access, shaping a halal-oriented brand image, and improving competitiveness relative to similar products. The findings also identify challenges such as certification costs, procedural complexity, and variations in halal standards across countries, which pose substantial barriers for SMEs. Addressing these challenges has the potential to strengthen global competitiveness, advance theoretical insights into the relationship between halal certification and the added value of local food products, and support the preservation of traditional culinary heritage such as cabuk wijen.

THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF HALAL CERTIFICATION IN INDONESIA'S FOOD INDUSTRY

2025-12-28T14:18:03+07:00

Abstract: The commercialization of halal certification in Indonesia has shifted its function from a religious safeguard to an economic commodity. This development raises concerns about the balance between spiritual values and market-driven practices. This study aims to critically analyze three major aspects of this phenomenon: the use of halal labels as branding tools, the rise of external halal consultants, and the financial implications of certification fees, particularly for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through document analysis of government regulations, scholarly articles, online news, and BPJPH publications. The findings show that certification fees, fast-track services, and consultant involvement reinforce the commercial orientation of halal certification. While these mechanisms increase administrative efficiency, they also impose financial burdens on MSMEs and reduce the spiritual integrity previously associated with halal assurance. The results further reveal that non-Muslim companies actively adopt halal labels to compete in the Muslim consumer market, strengthening the commodification of religious symbols. The study concludes that without stronger regulatory oversight and ethical standards, commercialization may erode public trust and weaken the religious significance of halal certification. These findings highlight the urgency of policy reforms to maintain authenticity, fairness, and accountability within Indonesia’s halal certification system.

Keywords: Indonesian food industry; halal certification; commercialization

Abstract: Komersialisasi sertifikasi halal di Indonesia telah menggeser fungsinya dari penjaga kepatuhan religius menjadi komoditas ekonomi. Perkembangan ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran mengenai keseimbangan antara nilai spiritual dan praktik pasar yang berorientasi profit. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara kritis tiga aspek utama fenomena tersebut: penggunaan label halal sebagai strategi branding, munculnya konsultan halal eksternal, serta implikasi finansial dari tarif sertifikasi terutama bagi pelaku usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM). Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif melalui analisis dokumen terhadap regulasi pemerintah, artikel ilmiah, berita daring, dan publikasi BPJPH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tarif sertifikasi, layanan fast-track, serta keterlibatan konsultan memperkuat orientasi komersial dalam proses sertifikasi halal. Mekanisme ini memang meningkatkan efisiensi administratif, tetapi juga menambah beban biaya bagi UMKM dan mengurangi integritas spiritual yang sebelumnya melekat pada jaminan halal. Temuan lain menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan non-Muslim turut memanfaatkan label halal untuk bersaing di pasar konsumen Muslim, sehingga memperkuat komodifikasi simbol keagamaan. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa tanpa pengawasan regulatif dan standar etika yang lebih kuat, komersialisasi berpotensi mengikis kepercayaan publik dan melemahkan makna religius sertifikasi halal. Temuan ini menegaskan urgensi reformasi kebijakan untuk menjaga autentisitas, keadilan, dan akuntabilitas sistem sertifikasi halal di Indonesia.

TRANSFORMATION OF TRADITIONAL SPACE: NEGOTIATING ECONOMIC–CULTURAL CAPITAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CANGGU, BALI TOURISM DESTINATION

2025-12-28T17:40:32+07:00

Abstract: Tourism in the era of neo-capitalism has transformed customary spaces from meaningful cultural landscapes into curated commodities tailored to global tastes. Addressing the gap in understanding how customary law operates as a mediating force within the architecture of tourism power, this study explores the negotiation between economic and cultural capital in the spatial production of Canggu, Bali. Employing an interpretive qualitative case study design, data were collected through participatory and non-participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with customary leaders (prajuru adat), pecalang (traditional guards), local architects, business actors, and document analysis, and triangulated across multiple methods. Integrating Pierre Bourdieu’s framework of economic, cultural, and symbolic capital with Henri Lefebvre’s theory of spatial production comprising spatial practices, representations of space, and representational spaces the findings reveal that: (1) commodification operates through “market-oriented spatial selection” that marginalizes everyday practices and intangible values; (2) customary authority mobilizes symbolic capital such as sacred temple radii, architectural pakem (traditional design standards), and river setbacks to moderate capital expansion and maintain socio-ecological cohesion; (3) the hybridization of traditional and modern architecture serves as a “value signal,” simultaneously enhancing market appeal and becoming an arena of meaning contestation; and (4) a dual governance regime, combining state regulations and awig-awig (customary law), establishes a configuration that is both mediating and restrictive, with customary sanctions and formal legal references as instruments of enforcement. Theoretically, this study extends debates on cultural tourism by formalizing cross-capital conversions in spatial production, while practically, it proposes a policy architecture that integrates formal planning mechanisms with customary instruments to safeguard intangible and ecological values without diminishing economic benefits. Policy implications include the standardization of sacred–ecological corridors, audits of cultural theatricalization, and community legitimacy–based benefit-sharing schemes.

Abstract: Pariwisata di era neo-kapitalisme mendorong transformasi ruang adat dari lanskap bermakna menjadi komoditas yang dikurasi bagi selera global. Berangkat dari kekosongan kajian mengenai bagaimana hukum adat bekerja sebagai penyangga dalam arsitektur kuasa pariwisata, studi ini menelaah negosiasi modal ekonomi dan kultural dalam produksi ruang destinasi Canggu, Bali. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif interpretatif dengan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif/non-partisipatif, wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan prajuru adat, pecalang, arsitek lokal, pelaku usaha, serta telaah dokumen, dan ditriangulasi lintas metode. Dengan mengintegrasikan kerangka Pierre Bourdieu (modal ekonomi, budaya, simbolik) dan Henri Lefebvre (praktik spasial, representasi ruang, ruang representasional), temuan menunjukkan: (1) komodifikasi berlangsung melalui “seleksi spasial berorientasi pasar” yang menyingkirkan elemen keseharian dan nilai takbenda; (2) otoritas adat mengaktifkan kapital simbolik seperti halnya radius kesakralan pura, pakem arsitektur, dan sempadan sungai untuk memoderasi ekspansi kapital dan menjaga kohesi sosial-ekologis; (3) hibridisasi arsitektur tradisional dan modern berfungsi sebagai “signal nilai” yang menaikkan daya jual sekaligus menjadi arena perebutan makna; (4) rezim ganda (aturan negara dan awig-awig) membentuk konfigurasi tata kelola yang bersifat mediasi sekaligus pembatas, dengan sanksi adat dan rujukan hukum formal sebagai instrumen penegakan. Secara teoretis, studi ini memperluas perdebatan kepentingan wisata dan budaya dengan memformalkan konversi lintas-modal dalam produksi ruang yang mengusulkan arsitektur kebijakan yang menyinergikan perencanaan formal dengan instrumen adat untuk melindungi nilai takbenda dan daya dukung ekologis tanpa meniadakan manfaat ekonomi. Implikasi kebijakan meliputi standardisasi koridor sakral dan ekologis, audit teaterisasi budaya, dan skema bagi-hasil berbasis legitimasi komunitas.
