Abstract

This study examines the challenges, solutions, and strategies related to human resource (HR) development in food MSMEs to obtain halal certification, particularly in regions such as North Sumatra, Padangsidimpuan City, South Tapanuli Regency, and Mandailing Natal Regency, where the number of halal-certified MSMEs remains limited. Despite having a large Muslim population, MSMEs in these areas face difficulties in tapping into the halal industry. The study identifies three main issues: limited HR capacity, low-quality HR, and lack of experience. Using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method, the findings reveal that HR development through training and education is the most effective solution, although the level of agreement among informants is moderate. Additionally, the study proposes key strategies to address these challenges, including improving technical skills and fostering attitudes, work ethics, and knowledge, with a high level of agreement on these priorities.

Abstract

Halal certification offers various benefits, but the process of obtaining it often faces challenges, especially for MSMEs managed by women. One of the main obstacles is the relatively high cost of certification. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study technique to deeply understand the role of halal certification in empowering women's economy in the MSME sector. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with female MSME actors who have been halal certified and direct observation in the field. The results of the study show that women's communities or networks play an important role in supporting the halal certification process through education, collaboration, and moral support. In addition, halal certification has proven to be not only a label, but also an effective marketing strategy, increasing product competitiveness and opening wider market access. This study noted an increase in sales of up to 30% after obtaining halal certification, reflecting the potential of this certification in supporting the growth and sustainability of women's businesses.
