Track: Supply Chain Management

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic review of halal practices on the topic of halal food supply chain (HFSC). HFSC is a developing concept (since 2010) as a development of the classic supply chain concept due to the increasing awareness to provide halal food for Muslim and non-Muslim customers. This study has reviewed 120 papers (60 empirical papers) and provides four main findings. First, from a theoretical point of view, the theory of planned behavior, the theory of reasoned action, and the arc integration approach are the most widely used theories to study halal practices in HFSC. Second, the choice of quantitative methods dominates empirical papers on Halal Practices in HFSC studies. Third, the majority of Halal Practice Studies at HFSC are conducted in Muslim countries with the food and beverage industry as the main sector studied. Fourth, based on the results of social network analysis, halal practices in the HFSC study are grouped into three research themes, namely issues related to HFSC and food issues. This study suggests a future research agenda such as elaborating theoretical and methodological aspects by examining three research themes. This paper will contribute to the HSC body of knowledge
