Sažetak
Over the past decade, the demand for halal-certified products and services has grown exponentially in
various sectors such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and finance. Previous academic research has
shown that traceability, transparency and certification compliance are the main drivers of halal purchasing
behaviour. In practice, however, we have found that traceability, transport and storage, end-to-end chain
integrity, different halal systems and lack of IT integration contribute to the disruption of halal supply
chains. The characteristics of blockchain technology (i.e. decentralisation, immutability, transparency and
cryptographic security) should, on paper, facilitate the tracking and verification of halal products from
their origin to the end consumer.
In this paper, we explored the pivotal role of blockchain technology in improving the efficiency and
reliability of halal supply chains.
The paper has been designed as a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology. The review of the relevant academic
literature has been further integrated and enriched by other sources such as regulatory frameworks and
case studies. In doing so, we aimed to provide an updated theoretical and practical view of the adoption of
blockchain technology in the context of the halal supply chain.
Preliminary findings suggest that the use of blockchain-based solutions in halal supply chains would
increase visibility, trust and accountability, and consequently foster greater trust among halal consumers.
In terms of challenges, scalability issues, interoperability concerns and regulatory hurdles would
undoubtedly pose significant hurdles for industry stakeholders.
