“…Qualitative research method helps the researcher to understand a process from the points of view of participants and discover their in-depth insights (Vinten, 1994). The researchers selected three experts in Halal via purposive sampling, which is helpful in obtaining information from a specific target group (Sekaran, 2006), and limited to those people who can provide the required information to the researchers.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the requirements needed for a country to establish itself as a global Halal hub. In this regard, this exploratory research paper uses a semi-structured indepth interview to obtain the perceptions of Halal experts about the requirements for establishing a Halal hub. The results of the study indicate that human capital, media, research and development, events, country's capability, public and governmental support, marketing strategy, and infrastructure comprise the vital requirements. Furthermore, from the perceptions of the experts, public and governmental support, marketing strategy, and human capital are the three most important requirements. Since this paper is an exploratory study, it provides some insights of the three experts on the establishing of a Halal hub. In addition, a quantitative study is an appropriate approach to implement the findings of this study empirically and to determine the effective components to establish a Halal hub in those countries that desire it. A practical implication of this study is the opening of a new window for any country that aspires to be a Halal hub. In this matter, this paper presents the key considerations in establishing a Halal hub for Halal certification bodies, companies and marketers involved in the Halal business. Moreover, this research attempts to influence the perceptions and attitudes of people of the country on the desirability of becoming a Halal hub, followed by a discussion on the development of a national brand. When the contribution of its people is high, a country stands the best chance of achieving its goal. Finally, this study is one of the first to seek the perceptions of experts about vital requirements that a country should pay more attention to if it wishes to establish a global Halal hub.

Consumer concerns over the provenance of food that has been prepared in accordance with religious requirements has risen in importance. Instances of improper identification and sale of Halal meat-based products in particular have given rise to questions over the authenticity of such foods. Despite this and the rising demand for Halal foods across the globe, little research has been conducted around the specific issues that arise during their production. This paper presents a case study investigation of a slaughterhouse in the UK that prepares both Halal and non-Halal meat products. It aims to improve our understanding of the challenges that Halal food production presents. The extra requirements of Halal food preparation place additional burdens especially upon smaller processors. Future development of quality standards should take account of the abilities of smaller organisations and the constraints under which they operate. Additionally, food quality assurance standards and systems should highlight the specific requirements of food that has been prepared in accordance with religious requirements. While this study has highlighted the complexities of Halal food production, similar issues are likely to be present in the production of Kosher food, and such compliances may also be required of foods consumed by people of other faiths.

RESUMOA produção de amendoim no Brasil é fortemente concentrada no Estado de São Paulo. O potencial de consumo do Nordeste Brasileiro desperta o interesse em entender as possibilidades de se fortalecer a cadeia produtiva para este produto na região. Objetivou-se neste artigo descrever a cadeia produtiva do amendoim na região do reservatório de Itaparica (conhecido como Sistema Itaparica) entre os Estados de Pernambuco e Bahia, e trazer propostas que venham a auxiliar o produtor rural local no fortalecimento da sua posição dentro desta cadeia. Trata-se de um artigo qualitativo baseado em dados primários, utilizando-se de observação participativa e entrevistas não estruturadas como ferramentas de coleta de dados. Este trabalho é resultado do projeto de pesquisa "Sistema de Produção de Amendoim no Vale do São Francisco", liderado pela Embrapa Algodão e Noble Agri. Verifica-se que a cadeia está atualmente dedicada à comercialização do chamado amendoim verde em pequena escala e baseado em um sistema de produção rudimentar. Fortalecer a cadeia é fundamental para que ela possa entregar uma variedade maior de produtos in natura e processados e em volumes e frequência superiores aos atuais. Para tanto, quatro ações são sugeridas nos campos da tecnologia de produção, financiamentos, logística e associativismo/cooperativismo. ABSTRACTPeanuts production in Brazil is strongly concentrated in the State of São. This situation calls the attention aiming to understand the possibilities of strengthening the supply chain in this region. The targets of this paper are to describe peanut supply chain in the region of Itaparica System between the States of Bahia and Pernambuco and to come up with suggestions to strengthen local farmers' position in this supply chain. This is a qualitative paper based on primary data. Participative observation and non-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. This work is one of the outcomes from the research project "Peanuts Production System in São Francisco Valley, Brazil", led by Embrapa Algodão and Noble Agri. Nowadays this supply chain is built to trade a specific kind of peanut named "amendoim verde" (pre-matured or fresh peanut) in small scale and based on a very rudimentary production system. Key to strengthen this supply chain is to support it in delivering a wider sort of fresh and processed products and in increasing volume and improving frequency. To this end, four actions are suggested regarding to the following fields: production technology, financing, logistics and associative/cooperative forms of organization.Palavras-chaves: Cadeia de Suprimentos, Produção Agrícola, Comercialização.
