Indonesia to postpone halal label deadline amid industry concerns

A presidential decree giving industries a transition period of several years to comply with the law now awaits President Joko Widodo's signature, said Sukoso, the head of the panel overseeing the process along with Muslim clerics. "We hope the process can run smoothly and we can reach every corner of Indonesia." The food industry would be given a deadline until 2024 to get halal certificates, said Sukoso, the chief of the Halal Product Assurance Body (BPJPH), though he declined to give a date for compliance by the drugs industry. Parulian Simanjuntak, head of the International Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Group representing drug firms, said government consultations showed the industry would have until 2026 to comply, but that might not be enough.
