Strategic aquaculture study on behalf of Indonesia’s Ministry of maritime affairs and fisheries

On behalf of Indonesia's Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), and supported by SECO / UNIDO, Globally Cool performed an extensive study to determine:

1. Where the global aquaculture market is heading and what the projections and drivers are.
2. What potential markets there are that will enable the growth of Indonesian aquaculture?

Part 1 of this study consisted of an analysis to identify:

• Who are the main producing markets?
• What are the main aquaculture species?
• Which species show interesting growth?
• What are white spot species (i.e. which non-traditional species show interesting growth)?
• Which species have the highest potential?
• What drivers will impact the future of aquaculture?
• What strategies the biggest aquaculture countries/Indonesia's competitors are following?

Following this initial analysis, we continued with step 2, during which we:

• Identified the main trends in shrimp, tilapia, milkfish and clarias, leading aquaculture fish species in Indonesia.
• Identified the main global markets for these species and assessed their growth.
• Assessed the position of Indonesia vis-a-vis the main competitors.
• Identified the opportunities for Indonesia.

Based on the findings concrete advice was given to the Ministry about which products and markets to prioritise for exports.
