Abstract

The purpose of this community service initiative was to motivate micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Matesih, Karanganyar, to recognize the significance of halal certification for their products. The initiative was conducted in three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held to identify existing issues and needs. The implementation stage involved providing counseling and mentoring to MSME owners on the halal certification process. During the evaluation stage, it was discovered that none of the participants had previously obtained halal certification. This led to further support being offered to three MSME practitioners who expressed interest in learning more about and obtaining halal certification. The outcomes of this community service highlighted a significant gap in knowledge and awareness about halal certification among local MSMEs. The initiative effectively underscored the need for continued education and support to help these businesses comply with halal standards and improve their market readiness.
