REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) Head, Ahmad Haikal Hasan, said the agency will focus on financing 3.5 million free halal certificates and establishing Halal Product Assurance Technical Service Units (UPT JPH) in 2026.
This follows the approval of BPJPH's 2026 budget increase by Commission VIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), totaling Rp 2.1 trillion, to strengthen the implementation of the halal certification program and improve public access to halal services.
“This includes funding for 3.5 million free halal certificates for micro and small enterprises, as well as the formation of BPJPH regional offices across Indonesia to ensure easier access to halal certification services,” Haikal noted in a statement received in Jakarta on Thursday.
He explained that this initiative is part of BPJPH’s duties as a Non-Ministerial Government Institution (LPNK) tasked with implementing halal product assurance in Indonesia.

“This vision aligns with the national development goals set in the 2025-2029 RPJMN and reflects BPJPH’s support for President Prabowo Subianto’s work programs,” he stated.
Haikal further noted that the additional budget will also be utilized to strengthen other halal assurance programs.
“These include efforts in digitalization, public outreach and education, and revisions to the Halal Product Assurance Law and related government regulations,” he stated.
“All of this will be carried out efficiently, as directed by the president, with careful consideration of program priorities and their impact on the wider community,” Haikal concluded.
