According to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), the value of ornamental fish exports from Indonesia has steadily increased since 2015. It peaked in 2019, reaching US$33.1 million or Rp466.7 billion (at an exchange rate of Rp14,100/USD). In the same year, the export volume amounted to 1,482.8 tons.
However, the value of ornamental fish exports decreased to US$13.8 million, or Rp194.6 billion, by early August 2020. This figure represents exports of 540.8 tons of ornamental fish to international markets. The decline was due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Red arowana and botia are two types of ornamental fish consistently included in Indonesia's export list. China and Taiwan are importers of red arowana from Indonesia. Meanwhile, botia has its own market share in the United States.
