Indonesia was recorded as the world's largest exporter of tuna (Thunnus), skipjack tuna (Euthynnus), and kawakawa (Katsuwonus pelamis) in 2021.

Quoting Tridge, an international trade data site based in South Korea, throughout 2021 Indonesia exported tuna, skipjack tuna, and kawakawa commodities in the form of fillets and frozen products worth US$325.4 million.

This Indonesian export value is equivalent to 17% of the total global export value of tuna, skipjack tuna, and kawakawa in 2021, and the highest among other marine fisheries producing countries.

In 2021, Indonesia exported the most of these commodities to the United States, valued at US$162.67 million, followed by exports to Italy worth US$60.46 million, and exports to Japan worth US$28.57 million.

Currently, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has a Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, and Kawakawa Fisheries Management Plan (RPP TCT) stipulated in the Decree of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 121 of 2021.

"The availability of tuna, skipjack tuna, and kawakawa resources should support the realization of national food sovereignty, a sustainable supply of fish protein, increased fishermen's income, and the provision of job opportunities on fishing vessels and fish processing units, including other supporting industries," the regulation explains.

"Regarding this fact, Indonesia is certainly very interested in ensuring the implementation of sustainable management and conservation practices for tuna, skipjack tuna, and kawakawa resources, in accordance with the principles adopted in the FAO's 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries," it continues.
