Indonesia's fish consumption rate remains low compared to its supply. Data from the Directorate General of Capture Fisheries, the Directorate General of Aquaculture, and the Directorate General of Strengthening the Competitiveness of Marine and Fisheries Products (PDSPKP) of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) shows that between 2010 and 2014, fish consumption consistently fell below available supply. Average consumption was below 38 kilograms per capita, while supply ranged from 38 to 51 kilograms per capita.
In addition to being lower than the supply, Indonesia's fish consumption rate is also lower than that of other Southeast Asian countries. 2011 data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicates that Indonesia's fish consumption was lower than Malaysia's (58.1 kilograms per capita), Myanmar's (55 kilograms per capita), and Vietnam's (33.20 kilograms per capita). Low fish consumption is attributed to several factors, including infrastructure limitations affecting fish distribution and the relatively low diversification of fishery products.
