National MPHPI Seminar and Exhibition

The era of ASEAN market openness with the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is just around the corner. AEC can be a challenge as well as a threat to the fisheries and marine sectors. Quality and competitiveness are key factors for Indonesian fisheries products to succeed in this era of openness.

Currently, in general, the competitiveness of Indonesian products in the Southeast Asia region is still below Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Therefore, innovation and technology in the fisheries and marine sectors are absolutely necessary in increasing the competitiveness of Indonesian fisheries products at the global level. The implementation of AEC will cause more products from other ASEAN countries, including fisheries products, to enter the Indonesian market. Thus, increasing the quality and competitiveness of Indonesian fisheries products is more urgent.
