TÜRKİYE’DE HELAL LOJİSTİK UYGULAMALARI: BİR VAKA ANALİZİ

Abstract

2016 yılında yapılan araştırmalara göre değeri 850 milyar doları aşan dünya helal ticaret pazarı öneminin, 2030 yılında Müslüman nüfusun yaklaşık olarak 2,2 milyar kişiye dünya nüfusunun %26’sı ulaşması ile daha da artacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Dünya üzerindeki helal ürünlere olan talebin artması, lojistik firmalarının sundukları hizmetlere helal lojistiği de eklemelerini gerektirmiştir. Mevcut yazına göre, lojistik yenilik kavramı belirli bir müşteri grubunun talebini karşılamaya yönelik olarak oluşturulan yenilikçi ve yararlı lojistik hizmetlerin tümü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Helal lojistik ise son yıllarda ortaya çıkan ve Müslüman kesimin ihtiyaçlarını göz önünde bulundurarak servis sağlayan bir lojistik yenilik olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Uluslararası yazında helal ticaret ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların hızlı bir şekilde arttığı gözlemlenirken ulusal yazında helal lojistik ve bununla ilgili gerek teorik çalışmaların gerekse ampirik çalışmaların eksikliği göze çarpmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmanın amacı; Türkiye’de ki helal lojistik uygulamalarını inceleyerek yazına katkı sağlamaktır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada vaka analizi yöntemi kullanılarak helal lojistik sertifikasına sahip lojistik firmalarından elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma araştırmanın bulguları, sektör için öneri ve gelecek araştırmalar için yönergeler ile sonuçlandırılmıştır
