lautnusantara.com Indonesia is indeed one of the largest tuna producers in the world. In fact, data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2022 showed that Indonesia's tuna catch volume reached 752,118 tons. This figure surpasses Taiwan, which is in second place, by a significant margin of around 50 percent.

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) also agrees with this. They stated that Indonesia has great potential in tuna production because of its strategic location between three main oceans rich in tuna: the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean.

In fact, the Marketing Director of the Directorate General of Strengthening the Competitiveness of Marine and Fisheries Products of the KKP, Erwin Dwiyana, in 2022 stated that Indonesia's tuna production share reached 15% of total world production.

Despite being the largest producer, Indonesia has not become the world's number one tuna exporter. Based on ITC Trademap data in 2020, Indonesia is ranked sixth as a tuna exporter with a market share of 5.33%. Thailand, China, Spain, Ecuador, and Taiwan are still above Indonesia in terms of tuna exports.

However, Indonesia continues to strive to improve the competitiveness of its tuna products in the global market. One step is to collaborate with various parties, including the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), to improve the sustainability standards of Indonesian tuna fisheries. In addition, the government is also trying to reduce tuna export tariffs to major destination countries, such as Japan.

So, it is true that the Republic of Indonesia has become the largest tuna producer in the world, surpassing Taiwan. Although not yet the number one exporter, Indonesia's potential in the global tuna market is very large and continues to be developed.
