Descripción
Indonesia’s marine resources cover 37 percent of fish species in the world Several of these, such as tuna, shrimp, lobster, coral fishes and seaweed, have great economic value Indonesia is the largest seaweed provider in the world and one of the largest global suppliers of tuna and shrimp Seafood products are among the most widely traded food commodities in the world In order to meet the increasing demand for fish, Asian aquaculture has experienced a rapid growth in the past four decades Indonesian shrimp production reached 637 555 tonnes in 2016 making Indonesia the second largest shrimp producer in the world after China In 2017 cultured shrimp exports accounted for USD 1 7 billion or close to 175 000 tonnes (processed weight, including exports of wild shrimp) The Asian fishery industry relies on the major importing markets of the European Union and the United States of America, which have complex food and animal health, food safety and quality assurance requirements for market access, in line with World Trade Organization rules New market traceability requirements have implications for developing countries, such as Indonesia In anticipation of this, MMAF developed a National Fisheries Traceability and Logistics System Sistem Ketelusuran dan Logistik Ikan Nasional STELINA), an integrated information system linking all information systems related to capture fisheries, aquaculture, food safety and distribution points along the value chain, and providing data and information from point of source to the receiving buyer.
