Sertifikasi Halal bagi Produk UMKM di Desa Nyurlembang, Kabupaten Lombok Barat

Abstract

Most of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in West Nusa Tenggara are engaged in the culinary (food) industry, with one such enterprise located in Nyurlembang Village, Narmada District, West Lombok Regency. Generally, the food products produced by MSMEs in Nyurlembang Village lack halal certification, which can lead to consumer hesitancy, especially among Muslims. Therefore, conducting socialization activities related to halal certification for MSMEs in Nyurlembang Village is of paramount importance. The purpose of these socialization activities is to educate and enhance the understanding of MSME operators regarding the significance of halal product certification. The implementation of this socialization employs lecture-style sessions and direct discussions. The socialization activities consist of three stages: preparation, execution, and evaluation.

However, a challenge encountered during the implementation of this socialization was the timing, which was not optimal
