ProjectSupporting Local Feed Self-Sufficiency for Inland Aquaculture in Indonesia - TCP/INS/3606 2020
Also available in:
No results found.In 2014, Indonesia produced 3.64 million tonnes of aquaculture products, making it the second largest aquaculture producer in the world. Of this production, 2.86 million tonnes, equivalent to 67 percent of total aquaculture production and 94 percent of total fish production, was accounted for by freshwater culture. The general trend towards global production intensification indicates that the demand for aquafeed will continue to rise in the coming years. Indeed, between 2008 and 2015, aquafeed demand increased by 70 percent in Indonesia. However, commercially manufactured aquafeed is estimated at 1.1 million tonnes per year and relies heavily on imported feed ingredients according to the Indonesian Feed Mill Association (GPMT). More specifically, 89 percent and 65 percent of feed ingredients for shrimp and fish aquafeed production, respectively, are being imported. Although the aquaculture production sector in Indonesia is dominated by small-scale farmers, aquaculture practices are generally driven by basic economic criteria, such as income generation, productivity and production. However, production is still largely governed by the balance between the availability and affordability of production inputs. This is certainly the case for aquafeed, which typically accounts for 50–70 percent of the costs for aquaculture production. -
ProjectSupport to Seaweed Cultivation, Processing and Marketing through Assessment and Capacity Development - TCP/BGD/3704 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Seaweed farming is a profitable industry in many countries in Southeast Asia, including Japan, Malaysia and China, and it is growing in Sri Lanka and India as well Bangladesh has a great deal of potential for seaweed culture, thanks to its 480 km of coastline, sandy and muddy beaches, estuaries and mangrove swamps, all of which are ideal habitats for seaweed cultivation In addition, the country boasts 133 different species of seaweed, and eight of these are highly marketable Despite having an ideal environment, the country has lagged significantly behind other countries in the region in terms of seaweed production. -

No results found.Seaweed utilization as food has a long history in Eastern Asia, particularly in countries such as China, North Korea and South Korea. The importance of these marine plants as a source of nutrients and as components to numerous consumer and industrial products has become increasingly important within the last few decades. Seaweed collection from natural fisheries has been carried out for a long time, however intensive aquaculture is relatively recent history. The seaweed aquaculture sector ha s not developed uniformly in the Asian region. Countries such as China and South Korea have developed sophisticated culture techniques being able to control the entire life cycle of a number of commercially important algae species. In contrast, other Asian countries relay mainly on vegetative propagation such as for Eucheuma in the Philippines. The importance of seaweed output from aquaculture practices is clearly visible from Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 shows the total production of seaweeds b y species in the Republic of Korea from 1980 to 1986, while Table 2 shows the production derived from aquaculture practices. In 1986 the sea mustard (Undaria pinatifida) production output was 354,661 MT of which over 97 % (346,434 MT) was from aquaculture output. Similarly, almost 100 % of the laver produced (Porphyra spp.) was derived from aquaculture. A great variety of seaweeds are cultured in the region and the total annual production output accounts for a major portion of all maricultured species. Figure 1 shows the aquaculture production in Asia in 1985 by major resource group. Seaweed accounted for 34 % of the year's total aquaculture production next only to finfish which accounted for 44 %. The species of commercial importance vary according to geographical location.
