Yogyakarta, March 19, 2025 – After success with the previous webinar , the OMBAK WEBINAR is back present with theme “ Increasing Sustainable Pond Yields​ For Meeting Demand Trends Shrimp in Domestic and Global Markets 2025” . This event interesting more from 300 participants from various circles , including farmers , academics and practitioners industry .

This time's topic of course the topic for sure has become attention of the perpetrators industry shrimp . Two aspects main — production shrimp maximum and market opportunities— must walk balanced . Without proper cultivation strategies , the increase production Udag Can become in vain . Vice versa , market opportunities without​ production quality shrimp​ will become obstacle for industry .

This is what makes FisTx is back again The 4th OMBAK WEBINAR and presenting expert industry aquaculture and the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia for discuss challenge This in a way comprehensive .

Answer Challenges of Indonesian and Global Shrimp Market 2025

Fuji from Directorate Development Export Primary Products , Ministry of Trade , explained that shrimp is commodity export Featured Indonesian exports with mark export reach 1.39 Million USD in 2024 , increasing 6.8% of year previously . However , the trend export in five years last (2020-2024) shows decline around 5.47% .

One of challenge export Indonesian shrimp is decline request shrimp in two destination countries Indonesia's main countries are America and Japan . Conditions shrimp market demand from both countries​ experience decline in 2019-2023 by -25.03% (America ) and -20.68% ( Japan ).

“ Slowing down market demand from the United States and Japan This worthy We beware remember export Indonesian shrimp still dominated both countries … , but we still appeal For perpetrator business industry shrimp For still "optimistic ," he said. Fujii .

This is what indicates the need for a new strategy For improvement Power competition export shrimp and products shrimp . Fujiyanti explain a number of strategy points improvement export among the most important is a guarantee strategy quality , safety and traceability product shrimp .

He state that perpetrator industry shrimp must can strengthen standardization and certification both process and suitable product​ with global requirements , as well as must push existence friendly management​ environment . So because That  required collaboration all fisheries stakeholders .

Fujiyanti also explained regarding strategies for dealing with various challenge in the form of policy export-import from various countries and obstacle other trade with do negotiation between countries .

“This is also what the Ministry of Trade does For to initiate or do negotiation or cooperation with other countries to reduce obstacle Good rates or non-tariff so that product shrimp We Can enter with 0% rate , which we expect product We Can own Power high competition​ from other countries," he said firmly. 

Technology Cultivation For Efficiency Production Shrimp

On the occasion This is Rico Wibisono as COO of FisTx Indonesia explain method in increase results harvest sustainable ponds​ For meet the domestic and global markets , namely election feed , select system proper cultivation , selection​ fry , and selection facilities and infrastructure the right pond especially election the right technology .

Rico also explained various technology innovative that can applied For increase efficiency pond shrimp with minimal cost maybe . Among them use UV technology , explained about Advantages of pond water disinfection process using more ultraviolet (UV) economical and practical . The UV system is rated can kill pathogen up to 99% with more processes fast and able press press cost operational up to 83.3%.

He also introduced implementation RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) systems in various countries that have proven bring good effect on production , not​ only That implementation nano technology developed by FisTx was also introduced , the technology This own ability in the direct disinfection process until DNA points , and their costs Enough namely Rp. 160-32-/m3 and not influential to shrimp .

All technologies suggested and presented​ is technology that can help fish farmer in reduce use material chemistry dangerous , guard water quality , and improve productivity shrimp .

"technology cultivation shrimp That present For prevent risk cultivation and reduce operational costs cultivation For sustainable cultivation , ” said Rico Wibisono.

Early Detection of Disease and Improvement Strategies Production Shrimp

Hasanuddin Atjo , Expert and Practitioner shrimp  to expose issue industry shrimp national among them There is disease shrimp , price main production more and more high , quality shrimp more low.

Atjo explain that problem disease part big because 50%-60% of the circulating fry in condition No healthy , then Because That need existence detection early on the sown fry and regular monitoring of water quality and shrimp during the cultivation process in progress very much important .

Atjo also added that the strategy for improvement production shrimp can done with development system nursery (two-step) , which has proven increase productivity in a way significant compared to method conventional . With approach this , production shrimp Can reach 145 tons per hectare , far more tall compared to pond conventional which is only 78 tons per hectare . He also highlighted importance clustering industry shrimp For optimize chain supply and pressure cost production .

In addition , he highlight implementation the right technology For can make cultivation The ideal Two Step , such as use reservoirs , filters, UV technology , and others . Application This used For can guard water quality which is the most important aspect .

" How We do captivity beginning , that water is very important For success cultivation , this is also certain become question for the participants that This it must be expensive and complicated yeah , so I think of course talk good result​ naturally need investment Good in material form and technology " said Hasanuddin Atjo

Third speakers of the 4th OMBAK Webinar confirm that industry Indonesian shrimp has opportunity big For develop If powered by innovation technology and appropriate management strategies . With implementation technology and management the right pond , it is hoped industry fishery national can Keep going grow and fulfill need increasing exports​ increase . (FisTx/AR)
