Abstract
This paper examines the preparedness of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia to participate in the halal food supply chain, focusing on employee acceptance and technology adoption. The halal food supply chain is a network that prioritizes and certifies products and services to maintain halal integrity across the system. SMEs are essential players in the halal industry; they must be involved in sophisticated supply chains to sustain Malaysia's position in the international market for halal products. The findings provide insight into the acceptance among employees and technological readiness, impacts on SMEs, and enable them to effectively compete in the halal food supply chain by offering recommendations that enhance employee engagement and technology integration. In addition, this research provides SMEs, scholars, and policymakers with a roadmap for the industry's future development.
