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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pristine Waters of Lake Toba<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grown in Floating Cages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
