Indonesia and Poland Strengthen Halal Industry Cooperation, Aiming for Global Halal Center Position

Indonesia is teaming up with Poland through a recognition agreement between the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) and the Muslim Religious Union in Poland. The signing was witnessed by the Polish Ambassador to Indonesia in Jakarta, Wednesday (6/18/2026). This partnership aims to beef up certification standards, exchange info, and open up trade opportunities for halal products in the global market, especially Europe. BPJPH head Ahmad Haikal Hasan said halal has now become a global standard tied to quality, safety, and sustainability. In Europe, halal is seen as a premium product; in the US, a health symbol; in Korea, a cleanliness standard. This transformation makes the halal industry a huge economic opportunity. The halal industry contributed about 27 percent to the national GDP in the first nine months of this year. The collaboration with Poland is expected to boost the competitiveness of Indonesian halal products, strengthen international market trust, and spur investment and trade. This cooperation is part of Indonesia's strategy to become a global halal center, cementing its position as a key player in an inclusive and sustainable global halal ecosystem. https://mozaik.inilah.com/halal-living/indonesia-gandeng-polandia-kuatkan-industri-halal-target-jadi-pusat-dunia
