Abstract

This study explores logistical challenges in Qurban meat distribution during Eid al-Adha in urban Muslim communities, focusing on efficiency and hygiene. Using mixed methods, it analyzes data from organizers, volunteers, recipients, and logistics staff. Findings show religious compliance is maintained, but issues include limited cold storage, non-standardized processes, and manpower shortages. Innovative practices like pre-packing, appointments, and eco-packaging help address these gaps. The study enhances halal logistics discourse by connecting traditional values with grassroots operational improvements, offering insights for better policy and practice.
