• 😀 The global seaweed market was valued at 2.7 billion USD in 2022, with Indonesia holding 12.3% of the market share, valued at 345 million USD.
• 😀 Seaweed farming supports coastal community health by implementing blue economy principles, offering low carbon emissions, resource efficiency, and social inclusivity.
• 😀 Challenges in seaweed farming include the availability of high-quality seaweed seedlings, which Indonesia is addressing through the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries' strategies.
• 😀 The Ministry focuses on improving seaweed seedling production through research labs, cultivation techniques, and partnerships with technical units like the Directorate of Aquaculture.
• 😀 Ambon’s Seaweed Aquaculture Center produces 5,000 seedlings per year, aiming to improve production and expand facilities for a larger output of quality seedlings.
• 😀 Key strategies for increasing seaweed production include upgrading lab facilities, increasing human resource capacity, and establishing partnerships with local and private sectors.
• 😀 Ambon Seaweed Aquaculture Center distributes seaweed seedlings to local farmers, and in 2022, it distributed 26 packages of seedlings to coastal farming villages, achieving high production rates in specific regions.
• 😀 The process of seaweed seedling production includes multiple stages such as acclimatization, sterilization, calus induction, micropropagation, and ultimately transplantation to the sea for further growth.

Q & A

What was the total global aquaculture production in 2020?

In 2020, global aquaculture production reached 122.6 million tons, including 87.5 million tons of fish and 35.1 million tons of seaweed.

Where does Indonesia rank in global seaweed production?

Indonesia ranks second in the world for seaweed production, with a total volume of 9.6 million tons in 2020, following China.

What is the global market value of seaweed and Indonesia's share in it?

The global seaweed market was valued at 2.7 billion USD in 2022, with Indonesia holding a 12.3% market share, equivalent to 345 million USD.

What are the key principles behind seaweed farming in Indonesia?

Seaweed farming in Indonesia follows the principles of blue economy, focusing on low carbon emissions, efficient resource use, and social inclusivity.

What is the main challenge in the seaweed farming sector in Indonesia?

A significant challenge is the availability of high-quality seaweed seedlings, which the government is addressing through various strategies.

What strategies has the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries implemented to improve seaweed production?

The ministry has focused on improving seedling quality by developing laboratory tissue cultures, enhancing seedling farms, and increasing the capabilities of technical units.

What role does the Ambon Seaweed Aquaculture Center play in improving seaweed farming?

The Ambon Seaweed Aquaculture Center specializes in producing seaweed seedlings through tissue culture techniques, ensuring the distribution of quality seedlings to local farmers.

What is the process for producing seaweed seedlings at the Ambon Seaweed Aquaculture Center?

The process involves several stages, including acclimatization of the seed stock, sterilization, calus induction, micropropagation, and acclimatization of the seedlings in aquariums, followed by distribution to local farms.

How does the tissue culture technique improve seaweed farming compared to traditional methods?

Tissue culture produces more resilient and faster-growing seaweed, with higher yields. The seedlings are also resistant to weather changes and diseases compared to those obtained from the wild.

What economic benefits do seaweed farmers experience through tissue culture-based farming?

Farmers report higher and more consistent yields, which make the process more profitable. The faster growth and higher quality of tissue-cultured seaweed make it a more sustainable option.
