Indonesian waters are known as a global fishing paradise. According to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Indonesia's four flagship products are seaweed, shrimp, crab, and tuna, skipjack, and cakalang (a type of tuna). Every year, the largest commodity produced by Indonesia is seaweed, with production reaching 10 million tons.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2015 report listed Indonesia as the leading global producer of seaweed and tuna. Shrimp and crab production ranked second globally.

These flagship fisheries products are distributed throughout Indonesian waters. Shrimp farming centers are located in Sumatra and West Java. Crab farming is concentrated in Java and Kalimantan. Seaweed cultivation is primarily found in Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara.
