Rapid scoping review of blockchain adoption in halal industry supply chain

The Halal industry is no longer solely a religious concern; rather, it is a lucrative business with a comprehensive framework to capture billions of Muslim markets worldwide. The development of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) has made better governance for Halal quality assurance. This includes the Halal supply chain, with the adoption of technology such as blockchain, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (Ai) in the Halal industry structure. However, the Halal supply chain is tarnished with controversial issues that shocked the Muslim community in Malaysia. As a result, academicians and industry players were brought forward for better traceability in the Halal supply chain and assurance pipeline. This rapid scoping review attempts to grasp the state-of-the-art blockchain adoption in the Halal supply chain. The rapid scoping review systems rely on Arksey and O’Malley’s work [1]. The findings suggest that blockchain research and development in the Halal supply chain are still in their infancy. The issues like traceability, capability and company capacity, awareness, the readiness of the companies, and the government support are among the themes that emerge in the data charting.
