Halal products might become a new opportunity in international business. Particularly, the availability of such products is a crucial need for Moslems and the government should provide it for them. This study aimed to investigate various problems of proposing halal certification for food industries, especially in East Java. It is a field research that involves several informants including LPPOM MUI, Department of Industry and Commerce, and food enterprises in East Java. The result showed that some problems emerged in case of halal certification. The actors of food industries seemed to merely see this certification as a licensing. In addition, the limitation of human resources and a perception that the process of halal certification was costly turned into some obstacles in conducting halal certification. © IAEME Publication
