Abstract
This research focuses on the development of the halal ecosystem in Jember Regency, specifically in measuring and improving the performance of poultry slaughterhouse (RPU) certification to support Indonesia^s Halal Industry 2024. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, the study begins with qualitative methods through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving various stakeholders such as academics, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Halal Slaughtermen (Juleha), the Livestock Service, and RPU business operators. The collected data is quantitatively analyzed using Radar (Web Chart) and SWOT Matrix analysis tools. The research findings indicate that the performance of halal certification in Jember Regency falls short of the expected targets, hindered by various challenges in implementing the halal ecosystem, including a lack of information transparency, insufficient availability of halal slaughtermen, limited slaughtering facilities, and the absence of issued halal certificates despite meeting requirements. The FGDs also revealed challenges in meeting halal standards and the importance of strategies for developing the halal industry in Jember. This research provides strategic recommendations for improving the performance of RPU certification, emphasizing the need for enhanced information transparency, accelerated certification processes, and increased collaboration among institutions. These improvements are crucial to ensure the availability of halal meat that meets standards and supports the achievement of Indonesia^s Halal Industry 2024 targets.
