Dr. Ir.

Dr. Ir. Ilmiah, M.Si as one of the team members explained the importance of a Halal Certificate for a Product, including Sambosa and Basreng Rajungan products, because one of the benefits for producers is that this halal label functions in building consumer trust and loyalty towards their products and meanwhile for consumers it provides a sense of security and as a guarantee that the products consumed are safe from non-halal elements and are produced in a halal and ethical manner. The meaning was further expressed by Dr. Ir. Hamsiah, M.Sc.  as a member of the product marketing team, he said that to increase sales, Sambosa and Basreng Rajungan products need to pay attention to good marketing techniques, which can be done in person and or online (Whatshap, FB, IG).
