JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin said, Indonesia does not want to only be able to provide halal certification. However, he also wants the country's halal products to be the largest.

The vice president conveyed this during a meeting with representatives of the Shanghai Indonesian Ulema Council for Food, Medicine and Cosmetic Studies Agency (LPPOM MUI) and Halal Sector Entrepreneurs at the LPPOM MUI China Office as well as the Shanghai Al-Amin Consultant Office, a subsidiary of Shanghai Al-Amin Biotech Co. Ltd, in Shanghai.

"Now Indonesia not only wants to provide halal certification standards in the world but wants to be the country that produces the largest halal products in the world," said the Vice President, Monday, September 18, as quoted by Antara.

"Indeed, we make a kind of halal standard that becomes a halal standard system in the world and is recognized by 50 halal certification institutions and becomes a reliable halal standard in the world," added the Vice President.

To develop this halal standard, MUI made the first LPPOM MUI representatives in various countries, including in Shanghai.

"And also recognize certificate institutions in various countries by providing 'endorsement' if they have used MUI standards and the number is 50 world standard institutions that follow MUI standards," added the Vice President.

jokingly, the Vice President said that Al-Amin Consulting had no family relationship with him.

"And there is no business relationship with me, but there is my relationship, namely relations in the context of developing halal products because at that time I was the Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and even previously I was the Chairman of the MUI Fatwa Commission," said the Vice President with a laugh.

The vice president also invited entrepreneurs in various countries, especially in China, to invest in halal products in Indonesia.

"Yesterday in Fuzhou we also met with around 10 businessmen, some have and some will invest in Indonesia because the halal lifestyle has become an integral part of the daily global Muslim community," added the Vice President.

According to the Vice President, the consumption of Muslims worldwide for halal food in 2021 will reach 1.27 trillion US dollars and is predicted to reach 1.6 trillion US dollars by 2025. Meanwhile, investment in the halal food sector almost reached 4 billion US dollars for the 2020-2021 period.

"Even the halal lifestyle now reaches the world's population regardless of religion or belief. Because halal products are synonymous with guaranteed cleanliness, security, and health of a product, this will certainly spur the world's demand for halal products in the future," explained the Vice President.

Meanwhile, Dawood Su as Director of the LPPOM MUI Representative Office in Shanghai who is also the Founder and President Director of Shanghai Al-Amin Biotech Co. Ltd. said that seeing the halal product market in Indonesia has enormous potential.

"During our development in 20 years, we succeeded in building a halal gelatin production line of 4,500 tons and also a line of sulfate continuous products of 200 tons, and also a 'line' of 500 tons gelatin protein production and a gelatin sheet of 500 tons, so we hope that it will further increase production capacity and to increase our production capacity which is our urgent mission," said Dawood Su.

Kordroitin is a substance that is already in the human body and is believed to help draw water and nutrients into human-prone bones that remain healthy and healthy. Kordrotin can also be found in cow-prone bones.

"In Indonesia there is no gelatin production factory and there is also no subdrotin sulftat factory and we want to invest in this field, in Indonesia. I am sure many Chinese companies want to invest in Indonesia to meet Indonesia's domestic needs," added Dawood.

In 2021, Dawood said there was already a gelatin investment agreement.

"We hope that this year we can build and produce 500 tons of codrotin sulfate to encourage Chinese companies to successfully invest in Indonesia, we have built a federation of the Chinese and ASEAN biology industry," said Dawood.
