lautnusantara.com Reports indicate that grouper exports from Indonesia are indeed showing a positive trend, even amidst global economic challenges. This is driven by several key factors.

1. Quality and Excellence of Indonesian Grouper
Indonesian grouper has a good reputation in the international market, especially for live grouper. Countries such as Hong Kong, China, and Singapore highly value the quality of Indonesian grouper, both farmed and wild-caught. Live grouper commands a significantly higher selling price than frozen or fresh grouper.

2. Market Diversification Strategy
Although key markets such as Hong Kong, China, and Singapore remain strong, Indonesia is beginning to look to other potential markets such as the United States and South Korea. This diversification helps reduce the risk of dependence on one or two destination countries, allowing exports to remain stable even if one market slows down.

3. Support from the Government and Related Institutions
The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and institutions such as Customs and Excise and the Indonesian Quarantine Agency (Barantin), actively facilitates and oversees the export process. Various programs, such as export acceleration services, ensure that exported grouper meets international quality and food safety standards. This certification provides assurance to overseas buyers.

4. Increasing Cultivation Capacity
Farmers in various regions, such as the Riau Islands, West Sumatra, and Maluku, continue to increase grouper production through cultivation in floating net cages (KJA). This increased production is supported by the use of improved technology and management, ensuring export supplies remain stable despite increasing demand.

Despite the positive trend, several challenges remain, such as high feed costs and price fluctuations. However, with collaboration between the government, academics, and business actors, the Indonesian grouper export industry has significant potential for continued growth and becoming a mainstay of the national economy.
