He highlighted the importance of fatwa institutions in setting halal standards that are relevant in the digital era.
Another speaker was Fitriani Kuroda as a practitioner of Kain Halal Indonesia. She encouraged Kain Halal to make Indonesia one of the world’s halal mecca. Increasing halal awareness in Indonesia still needs to be improved so that customers begin to be selective in purchasing products online, said Dr. Retty Ikawati (UAD Food Service Business Lecturer). The seminar was attended by more than 100 participants from students, fostered MSMEs, representatives of LPH-KHT and 23 HC PTMA throughout Indonesia.
