Abstract

This study aims to conduct a political analysis of the organization of the halal industry in Kazakhstan, with a focus on identifying key issues and opportunities associated with this process. The halal industry represents a significant sector of the economy in modern Islamic and secular states, specializing in the production and certification of goods compliant with Islamic law. In the face of growing demand for halal products both domestically and internationally, Kazakhstan endeavors to stimulate the development of this sector. However, this process is accompanied by a number of political challenges, such as the need for effective regulation, ensuring proper certification, and competition with similar producers. At the same time, the organization of the halal industry presents significant economic and social opportunities for the country, including attracting investments, facilitating job creation, and enhancing the country's international image. The study aims to conduct an analytical review of these issues and opportunities in the context of political strategy and to propose recommendations for improving the mechanisms of halal industry development in Kazakhstan, taking into account the peculiarities of local legislation and the interests of various political and social structures.
