Indonesia holds a strategic position in the global halal economy, yet its halal ecosystem remains fragmented due to regulatory fragmentation, uneven infrastructure, and varying levels of digital readiness. This study examines systemic barriers to the development of Indonesia’s halal ecosystem and proposes the Integrated Halal Value Network (IHVN) Model as a pathway toward network-based integration. Using an integrative systematic literature review guided by PRISMA, peer-reviewed studies and institutional policy documents published between 2014 and 2025 were searched in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and official sources, including BPJPH, Bank Indonesia, and KNEKS. Records were selected based on relevance to halal governance, infrastructure, digital traceability, and ecosystem collaboration, resulting in 62 publications for thematic coding and synthesis. The review identifies four critical challenges: regulatory fragmentation, regional infrastructure gaps, low digital readiness among SMEs, and a compliance-oriented certification mindset. The proposed IHVN Model positions an interoperable digital platform as a keystone mechanism linking governance, strategic resources, and Pentahelix stakeholders. By shifting halal development from certification compliance to network integration, this study contributes a conceptual roadmap for a more coherent, inclusive, and globally competitive Indonesian halal ecosystem.
