INFOKU, BLORA -The Food, Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries Service (DP4) of Blora Regency installed plaques and handed over certificates to beef traders at the Sido Makmur Blora market as a halal guarantee for consumers, Thursday (4/9/2025).
"Today, we're giving out halal certification plaques to consumers. So, for traders or small businesses that slaughter their cattle at the slaughterhouse (RPH), we're giving them plaques and certificates as a guarantee of halal certification," said Ngaliman, Head of the Blora DP4.
So, by being given the plaque and certificate, Ngaliman continued, it means that consumers can immediately read and know that the beef slaughtered by UD or beef traders is halal.

"That's because the cattle are slaughtered at our slaughterhouse. Our slaughterhouse has a Veterinary Control Number (NKV) and is halal-certified. So, for the people of Blora Regency, when they buy meat with our plaque, they are guaranteed the halal and hygienic quality of the beef," Ngaliman added.
He said that for the time being, nine traders were given plaques, and these nine traders regularly slaughter cows at the Blora RPH every day.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Economic and Natural Resources Section of the Blora Regional Secretariat, Puji Ariyanto, who participated directly in the activity, said that with Tradeworld, we as consumers will be calmer.

"We know that the majority of the population in Blora Regency is Muslim, so with the halal certification, we can rest assured when purchasing meat, as it has gone through several health and sharia-compliant stages. For example, the slaughterers (juleha) at the Blora slaughterhouse are certified to slaughter animals, including those who adhere to Islamic procedures," he explained.
Ayik, a beef trader at the Sido Makmur Blora market, said something different, admitting he was very grateful for the plaque being installed at the meat stall he uses every day.
"Thank God, I'm very happy. This means we can assure consumers that the beef we sell is safe and halal for consumption," said Ayik.

"I'm more confident and have no hesitation in buying beef at Sido Makmur Market in Blora. I bought this beef to cook and enjoy with my family," he said.
