In 2022, eFishery contributed 1.55% to Indonesia’s Aquaculture Sector’s GDP. The company now plans to expand into the export market for both shrimp and fresh-water fish. Starting in 2023, eFishery intends to export tilapia as a fresh-water commodity, following its initial foray into shrimp exports. According to Warta Ekonomi, Indonesia is the world’s second-largest producer of tilapia, and in 2020, the country exported 12.29 thousand tonnes of tilapia with a value of US$78.44 million. eFishery is confident that its success in the domestic market can be replicated in the international market.
The Pristine Waters of Lake Toba
eFishery sources Tilapia from the best seeds in the world, which are from Honduras in Central America. The fish is grown in a floating cage in Lake Toba, which is considered the most natural environment in Indonesia. Lake Toba’s water is considered pristine due to its clarity, lack of pollution, and nutrient-rich composition. The absence of contaminants and pollutants creates an ideal habitat for aquatic life, allowing tilapia to thrive in a clean and healthy environment. This pristine water quality directly influences the taste, texture, and overall quality of tilapia cultivated in the lake.
Grown in Floating Cages
To utilize the full potential of Lake Toba’s pristine waters, tilapia production takes place in floating cages. These cages gently bob on the surface of the lake, providing a controlled environment for the fish to thrive. By minimizing contact with the lakebed, the floating cage method preserves the purity of the tilapia, ensuring a clean and soil-free taste.
