Paper overview

Recently, the market of halal products has received much attention worldwide. Therefore, the demand for halal products is increasing tremendously not only from Muslim countries but also non-Muslim countries.The term of halal logistics has arisen in the logistics industry in Malaysia since 2000, in fact some of the logistics service providers have also offered halal logistics services such as MILS SdnBhd and KontenaNasionalSdn Bhd. Meanwhile, the Malaysian government have also given incentives to the companies that venture into the halal industry. Halal hub, which is a dedicated area in each state in Malaysia, has been designated in assisting the halal products producers to boost the halal industry. In addition, the halalantoyyiban assurance pipeline (HTAP) is the Malaysian standard for halal logistics that cover the warehousing, transportation, and retailing aspects. The component of halal industry can be classified into three areas,namely services, food and non- food(Ministry of Industrial and Trade, 2006).
