The Indonesian Ministry of Finance revealed that Indonesia's sharia economic and financial performance continues to show a positive trend even though the world is experiencing a global economic slowdown. The halal value chain sector is even said to contribute more than 25% to the national economy. Especially from the halal food and beverage sector, Muslim fashion, Muslim-friendly tourism, to agriculture. In the last 6 years, Indonesian halal product exports have recorded significant growth of 7.08%, with a value reaching USD 51.4 billion in 2024.

Interestingly, the food and beverage sector dominates with a contribution of 81.16% of the total halal exports. "The government is targeting Indonesian halal product exports of USD 39.12 billion in 2045," said the narrator in a video uploaded to the Indonesian Ministry of Finance's YouTube channel, as quoted by sokoguru.id Saturday, May 31st, 2025. This group involves 12 ministries and institutions to facilitate market access, financing, and expand international cooperation. "This year we are focusing on further optimizing the working group, so that our entrepreneurs can more easily enter foreign markets," he said. However, despite its great potential, Indonesia is still lagging behind in the world halal market. Ironically, many non-Muslim majority countries dominate exports to OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) countries. "If the hajj or umrah eats catfish, it is not catfish from Palembang, but from Vietnam. Chicken from Brazil. Rice is also from Vietnam," said the source in the video, highlighting the real challenges faced by the national halal industry. It is known that the global halal market is estimated to reach USD 3 trillion or around thousands of trillions of rupiah in 2025. Seeing this great opportunity, the government is committed to strengthening the national halal industry ecosystem and preparing export business actors to be able to compete globally.
