lautnusantara.com The global barramundi fish market has great export potential, but also faces various challenges. Here are some important points related to the potential and challenges:

Barramundi Fish Export Potential:

1. High Market Demand:

• Barramundi fish, or white snapper, has high demand in the global market, especially in countries such as the United States, Australia, and European countries.
• This fish is predicted to become the "Salmon of Asia" because it has a delicious taste and high nutritional content.

2. Commodity Diversification:

• The development of baramundi cultivation can be an alternative mariculture commodity amidst the declining demand for several other types of fish.
• This can help Indonesia to diversify its fishery products and increase its competitiveness in the global market.

3. Wide Market Opportunities:

• Baramundi has an advantage in terms of ready-to-eat size, so it can meet diverse market demand.
• Unlike several other types of fish that are limited to a certain size, baramundi can be harvested according to consumer needs.

4. Government Support:

• The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), continues to encourage the development of barramundi cultivation and facilitate market access for business actors.
• Participation in international exhibitions and the development of a market intelligence system are some of the efforts made to increase fishery product exports.

Barramundi Export Challenges:

1. Global Competition:

• Indonesia faces stiff competition from other countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and India, which are also major exporters of snapper.
• To be able to compete, Indonesia needs to improve product quality, production efficiency, and branding.

2. International Quality Standards:

• The global market has high quality standards, including food safety requirements, sustainability, and product traceability.
• Business actors need to meet these standards in order to access the export market.

3. Infrastructure and Logistics:

• The distribution process of fresh fish requires adequate infrastructure, such as cold storage and an efficient logistics system.
• Limited infrastructure in some areas can hamper the distribution process and reduce product quality.

4. Price Fluctuations and Trade Policies:

• Fish prices in the global market can fluctuate due to changes in demand, currency exchange rates, and international trade policies.
• This can create uncertainty for exporters, especially small exporters.

5. Sustainability of Resources:

• Illegal and excessive fishing of snapper can threaten fish populations in Indonesian waters.
• This overfishing practice not only damages marine ecosystems but can also reduce Indonesia's reputation in the international market.

To face these challenges, joint efforts are needed from the government, business actors, and the community to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian fishery products in the global market.
