Indonesia shrimp - Supply chain data

Jonathan Green

Farmed shrimp production in Indonesia has increased from less than 150,000 tonnes in 2000 to almost one million tonnes in 2021. This enormous growth has been enabled by excellent conditions for aquaculture due to Indonesia's long coastline and tropical climate, as well as significant government support. However, shrimp farming faces environmental challenges, especially the conversion of mangrove forests to fish-farming ponds.

Farmed shrimp are in fact almost exclusively prawns, the two main species being giant tiger prawns and white leg prawns. The terms 'shrimp' and 'prawns' are used interchangeably for the same product in different regions, shrimp being favoured in the US.

Shrimp production has grown rapidly in Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s fourth largest exporter of shrimp. In 2018, Indonesia exported 149,000 tonnes of shrimp. The US and Japan are the largest consumer markets, accounting for 87% of these exports. In 2021, shrimp exports (including wild caught) were worth over US$ 2.2 billion to the Indonesian economy.

Indonesia’s shrimp exports are dominated by a handful of companies. The top three – Bahari Makmur Sejati, First Marine Seafoods and Panca Mitra Multiperdana – accounted for over one third of exports in 2018.
