The analysis provides helpful information and lessons for others to capture, reflect on and replicate. The chapter introduces the background of the halal food industry worldwide and in China, which is associated with the expansion and advancement of the halal logistics industry both domestically and internationally. In practice, a significant number of China’s population are halal consumers regardless of religion, thereby validating the high demand for halal food integrity, supply chain integration, food data traceability, human resource management and certification. This has caused the halal food industry in China to struggle with challenges, including halal integrity risk, an imbalance of halal food supplies, a lack of collaboration among halal industry players, and a lack of competitiveness and limited export capacity.
