Fresh chicken meat supply chain through halal certified slaughterhouses in Yogyakarta Indonesia

This study aimed to describe the structure and analyze the performance of the halal-certified fresh chicken meat supply chain in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research focused on the halal-certified Bu Koes fresh chicken meat depot. The study location was purposively selected due to the presence of this depot. Sampling of supply chain actors employed a snowball sampling technique combined with information obtained from Bu Koes. Respondents included 8 farmers, 2 companies, 2 brokers, 1 chicken slaughterhouse, 1 trader, and 30 consumers. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the supply chain structure, while the performance of the halal-certified supply chain was analyzed through three flows: product, money, and information. The results identified four supply chain patterns: (1) farmer–company I–slaughterhouse–end consumers; (2) farmer–company I– slaughterhouse–trader–end consumers; (3) farmer–company II–broker– slaughterhouse–end consumers; and (4) farmer–company II–broker– slaughterhouse–trader–end consumers. Among these, product and information flows were smoothest in chain 2, while money flow was smoothest in chain 4. Overall, chain 2 demonstrated the best performance, showing effective coordination between actors and consistent flow of halal-certified products. The findings highlight the importance of efficient coordination among stakeholders to maintain halal integrity and improve supply chain performance in the poultry sector.
