        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is pushing for a major transformation in the fisheries sector by strengthening aquaculture to lessen dependence on capture fisheries, which face resource limitations. With nearly 17.9 million hectares of potential land for fish farming currently underutilised at less than 10%, the government plans to develop 40,000 thematic aquaculture sites to boost production and create an integrated industry ecosystem. This initiative emphasises food safety standards and good aquaculture practices, aiming to drive economic growth and enhance national food security.",

This step is being taken to reduce reliance\non capture fisheries, which have resource limitations. Acting Secretary\nGeneral of KKP Andy Artha Donny Oktopura stated that Indonesia\u2019s\naquaculture potential remains very large and has not been optimally\nutilised. \u201cWe have potential aquaculture land of nearly 17.9 million\nhectares, but what is currently utilised is still less than 10 percent,\u201d\nhe said at the Food Summit 2026 CNBC Indonesia forum themed \u201cIndonesia\nFood Safety Urgency: Towards a New Policy Framework\u201d in Jakarta on\nMonday (27\/4\/2026). With this potential, the government sees a great\nopportunity to increase fish production from the aquaculture sector.\nThis transformation also follows global trends, where many countries are\nshifting focus to aquaculture. \u201cWe will optimise this potential to\nincrease production from the aquaculture subsector and reduce reliance\non capture,\u201d Andy said. As a concrete step, KKP is preparing the\ndevelopment of tens of thousands of thematic aquaculture sites in\nvarious regions. This programme aims to create an integrated industry\nchain from upstream to downstream. \u201cWe will implement the development of\n40,000 thematic aquaculture sites to increase production and create a\nnew industrial ecosystem,\u201d he explained. In addition to production,\nquality aspects are a primary concern. The aquaculture system will be\nimproved to meet food safety standards. Standardisation is carried out\nfrom production inputs to processing processes. \u201cAll production inputs\nmust be certified and aquaculture activities must meet good aquaculture\npractices,\u201d Andy emphasised. With this strategy, KKP is optimistic that\nthe aquaculture sector can become a new engine for economic growth as\nwell as a pillar of food security. \u201cThis is not just about production,\nbut also ensuring safe and quality food,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
