As a maritime country with 5.8 million kilometers square of sea area, Indonesia has a big potential to be a leading aquaculture industry in the world. Bahtera’s Aquaculture Experts shared this vision, especially for shrimp farming, which shares approximately 35% of the aquaculture commodities exports.
Acknowledged as the global third-largest shrimp producer, there is an expected annual growth of 8% by the end of the year for the farmed-shrimp industry. Of course, being number one in the industry is something that the government envisions. To achieve that, shifting to modern technologies such as automatic feeding, aeration, and key performance indicator monitor is important. It is to ensure that the shrimps produced are of the best quality, starting from the initial production to the end product.
A New Challenge for the Aquaculture Industry
In 2022, the Indonesian government plans to build integrated aquaculture farms under the “Aquaculture Village” program. With the main aim to boost production for exports, this program is a part of the economic recovery attempt as well as catering to the global demand. It will further strengthen Indonesia’s food security and create new jobs.
According to Bahtera’s Aquaculture Experts, there are several critical factors in implementing Aquaculture Village: environmental, infrastructure, and human resources. Our experts are optimistic that this long-term visionary program can be sustainable in Indonesia. Especially with the coastline length, electricity as the primary infrastructure, and the coastal human resources Indonesia owns.
One of the most important things our experts highlighted in carrying out sustainable farming is good water quality. To achieve that, a reliable disinfection agent is needed. Stockmeier’s Peracetic Acid is a greener solution to disinfect any kind of aquaculture farm. Using a low concentration of the acid proved effective against all types of microorganisms, even at low temperatures. Moreover, it is scientifically proven to have minimal impact on the environment with its ability to decompose to oxygen after use.
With a great vision, comes great responsibilities. Going for sustainability could both save our earth and our future. Click here to find your solution.
