“…Cooperation in the export and import of halal products is not only carried out by Muslim countries with Muslim countries but also carried out by non-Muslim countries. Like Malaysia, which cooperates with the United States, Singapore, Japan, China, and Thailand in the export and import of halal products [12]. The existence of cooperation carried out by non-Muslim countries has made several countries apply rules regarding halal standards for each importer, such as Malaysia with JAKIM halal standards, Singapore with MUIS halal standards, Indonesia with MUI halal standards, and SMIIIC halal standards which are applied to countries that join the OKI [13].…”

OIC countries are countries that have the highest development of the halal industry. Most of the export and import activities carried out by OKI are halal products. Exports and imports of the country’s halal products will describe the condition of the current account surplus or deficit. This study aims to determine the spatial dependence on the current account and the effect of exports and imports of halal products on the current account. The method used descriptive quantitative techniques with spatial analysis. This research was conducted in 51 OIC countries in 2021 using secondary data. The independent variable values are obtained from ITC and the dependent variable is obtained from WDI. The results showed that there is a spatial autocorrelation in the current account, and the spatial autoregressive regression (SAR) results show that exports of halal products have a significant positive effect on the current account. Meanwhile, imports of halal products have a negative but not significant effect on the current account. Keywords: spatial, halal export, halal import, current account balance

“…Those food items with Halal certification are named as Halal foods.

“…Certification also provides opportunities for merchants to establish operational and product differentiation strategies concentrating on other attributes beyond pricing such as convenience, providing variety, consistency, quality, and safety [ 23 ]. The concept, definition, or understanding of Halal food is reviewed based on the papers cited above [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ] with special discussion given to Halal certification.…”

This paper aims to review the literature on ‘Effective Microorganism (EM)’ and ‘Fertilizer’ from the Scopus database and to discuss EMs using Halal-based sources for biofertilizer production from socio economic insights. Based on EM and fertilizer publications on the Scopus database, all the 17 papers reviewed provided no detailed information on the Halal-status of the biofertilizers inoculated with EM. The impacts of Halal-certified biofertilizers will trigger the Halal certification in food products by (a) catering for the increasing Halal food demand due to expectedly Muslim population expansion, (b) contributing to the sustainable buying behaviour of Halal products’ consumers in the future, (c) catering for the increasing number of Muslim travellers around the world, (d) becoming a positive driver for higher production of more Halal foods that can enhance food safety, human health and well-being, and (e) creating a cost-effective and increasing food marketability. The later three points (c, d and e) play a very important role in a country’s societal well-being and economic growth and development. Although Halal-status is not a must for the world’s food marketing, Halal-certified biofertilizer for the Halal-status of food carries the greatest potential to enter the ever-expanding Muslim markets. Finally, it is postulated that the successful usage of EM using Halal-based sources for biofertilizer production will result in two major outcomes from the points of United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals # 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and # 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Hence, the presented review provides a starting point for future research considering sustainability and innovation as priorities.

Halal food export and Malaysia’s potential: the applicability of the gravity theory of trade

Purpose The gravity theory of trade explains the potential for trade between nations, but its application to trade in halal food has been questioned by previous studies. This study aims to investigate this issue and the role of trading partners’ economic strength and their distance from one another to identify Malaysia’s potential to export food to key halal markets. Design/methodology/approach The gravity theory of trade was used to examine Malaysia’s top 10 food exports to key halal markets from 2000–2017. The gravity panels were estimated using the Hausman-Taylor modelling technique to control for endogeneity within the model. Findings The application of the gravity theory of trade to a halal market context provides mixed results. Although the high economic strength (gross domestic product) of the trading partners enhances halal trade, the distance between the partners does not affect the volume of halal food exports. Moreover, the study identifies Malaysia’s potential to export only a few food commodities to key halal markets. Originality/value This study challenges the applicability of the gravity theory of trade to the halal food market. The study extends the model with additional controls for behavioural aspects and applies it to commodity-specific segregated trade in halal food. The findings underscore the need to extend the theory beyond its current focus when explaining trade opportunities in halal markets.
