    government agencies in Indonesia. SMART-Fish Indonesia is pushing forward for the implementation of sustainability certification
    in Indonesia.

    After more than a year, seaweed demo-farms in
    East Java and South Sulawesi show a very promising
    result. Ali Sukra—a seaweed farmer from Aengdake
    Village in Sumenep, East Java, reported that he has
    achieved a better wet-to-dry seaweed harvest ratio
    through SMART-Fish’ best practices. In the old days, he
    only earned 1 kg dry-seaweed from 8 kg wet-seaweed.
    Now he can produce 1 kg dry-seaweed from 6 kg
    wet-seaweed, which has resulted in a better income.
    Meanwhile Hamidi—an enumerator in Sumenep
    added that SMART-Fish’ best practices method requires
    lower set-up costs. In just one cycle, the farmers can
    already reach break-even-point—making it more
    attractive for them. Similarly, the 171 farmers in Takalar
    and Bulukumba (South Sulawesi), and the 65 farmers in
    Sumenep (East Java) who joined SMART-Fish Indonesia
    programme have enjoyed the better results.

    In the Pangasius value chain, SMART-Fish Indonesia
    introduced least cost formulation (LCF) for self-made
    feed, and good aquaculture practices to the farmers.

    SMART-Fish Indonesia has also been developing an

    the called INSPIRED tool. Soerianto from PT Agarindo
    Bogatama—the director of the largest agar producer
    in the world said that the tool broadens his view on
    improving productivity. Now PT Agarindo Bogatama
    is building a new factory, adopting knowledge and
