| Summary: | Indonesia has a long history of aquaculture, dating from the 15th century.
Subsequently, the country has become a significant contributor to global aquaculture
production, destined for both international and domestic markets. In 2009
the Government of Indonesia announced its vision to see Indonesia become the
highest (volume) producer of aquaculture products in the world by 2015, with
production targets equivalent to an overall increase in production of 353%
between 2009 and 2014. This paper comprises a PEEST (policy, economic, environmental,
social, technical) review undertaken as a background study for a
SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis, the outcomes of
the SWOT analysis and a discussion of possible approaches to support sustainable
aquaculture development in Indonesia. To meet the vision of a dramatic expansion
of aquaculture production, one or more of the following strategies is
required: intensification and production segmentation, areal expansion, and/or
production diversification. Most likely the continued development of aquaculture
in Indonesia will be a combination of these three strategies, with the relative influence
of each depending on production sector and market demands. A key issue
identified in the PEEST review and SWOT analysis is the dominance (in terms of
number) of Indonesian aquaculture by smallholder aquaculture farmers. We
argue that a range of influences, including aquaculture production expansion and
changing international market requirements, have the potential to negatively
impact smallholder aquaculture farmers in Indonesia, and that further policy
development should specifically address these issues. |
