ANALYSIS OF EXPORTS OF FIVE MAIN FISHERY PRODUCT COMMODITIES IN BATAM CITY USING THE MARKOV CHAIN MODEL

Indonesia, an archipelagic country, boasts significant potential in the fisheries sector, notably in the export of fishery products. Batam as a free trade zone plays a major role in Indonesia's fishery product exports. According to the Central Statistics Agency's data, there has been a 2.47% decline in fish and shrimp exports in January and February 2023 compared to January 2022. Therefore, further analysis is needed on projected exports of fishery products in Batam. This study focuses on the utilization of the Markov chain model to analyze the export dynamics of Batam City's primary fishery product commodities, including Seaweed, Fish, Shrimp, Crab, and Shellfish. Monthly export data for Batam City's fishery products throughout 2021-2023 sourced from The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. Based on these data, the transition probability matrix will be calculated based on the number of export transitions below and above the Moving Average (MA 12) value. The Markov chain model for this case is an erdogic Markov chain model, in order that the limiting probability of the Markov chain model can be determined. The result shows that exports of fish, shrimp and crab in the long term will exceed the average export size in the past year each after 7 months, 11 months, and 14 months later respectively, while exports of seaweed and shellfish in the long term will be below the large average exports in the past year after 15 and 5 months. This research result offer valuable insights for the government to formulate strategies and policies concerning fishery product exports

ARIMA (p, d, q) Modeling for Predicting Exports of Fresh and Chilled Fish Based on Market Conditions and Main Destination Countries : The Case of Indonesia 2012-2022

ABSTRACT Fresh and chilled fish are the largest contributor to Indonesia's fishery product exports, accounting for a share of 45% or around USD 2.2 billion in 2021. The main destination countries for Indonesia's fresh and chilled fish exports include China, the United States, Japan, and other European countries. This research aims to analyze the factors influencing the export value of Indonesia's fresh and chilled fish, as well as to identify and evaluate the ARIMA (p, d, q) model based on historical data from 2012-2022. The result is an ARIMA (4,2,2) model with a MAPE value of 2.208 and a predicted value for the 2023 period of 4351 tons. This is in line with the large exports of fresh fish from Indonesia to various destination countries.

SPATIAL-TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF NARROW-BARRED SPANISH MACKEREL (Scomberomorus commerson) FISHING GROUNDS IN RIAU ARCHIPELAGO WATERS, INDONESIA

Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson) is an exportable fish captured by gillnet fishing fleets from Bintan Regency. The fleets are operated in the Riau Archipelago waters but information on their activities is limited. Such information is important to the institution the Agency for Marine and Fisheries Affairs of Archipelagic Riau Province for ensuring the sustainability of the fisheries from both economic and biological perspectives. This study aims to determine the spatial-temporal distributions of the mackerel fishing grounds along the year with reference to the capture data, sea surface temperatures, chlorophyll-a concentrations, and salinities in the last 4 months of 2022. This study analyzed data from a fish export company, the PSDKP office at Tanjungpinang, Bintan, interviews of fishers affiliated with 44 fishing boat samples, and satellite-based marine data. Analysis on the monthly fishing productivity and optimum marine conditions for the mackerels were carried out to determine prospects of five recognized fishing grounds. Besides Lingga Islands, the fishing grounds are highly prospective from August to November. The longest fishing seasons are expected around Bangka Island (11 months). The spatial and temporal patterns show that the north-south-north shifts in fishing grounds that are associated with regional climates, i.e., monsoon winds.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of fresh Nile perch value chain handlers towards food safety requirements in Uganda

In the continuum from ‘farm to fork’, the proficiency of food handlers in terms of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) is essential for ensuring improved food safety outcomes. This study evaluated the KAP of fresh Nile perch fish handlers regarding food safety requirements within Uganda. A cross-sectional survey involving fish handlers (n = 466) engaged in handling fresh Nile perch and fisheries products in both local and export market chains. The study was conducted at 30 gazetted fish landing sites on Lake Victoria, 15 licensed fish export factories, and 9 local markets authorized to sell fisheries products. Data on demographic, knowledge, attitude, and practices was collected using structured questionnaire. Demographic data was analysed using frequencies and percentages. Ordinary least squares bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding food safety requirements. Fish handlers (49.8 %) demonstrated good knowledge with the majority (74.6 %) from the export market chain. Majority (81.3 %) of market stall handlers had poor knowledge of food safety requirements. Most (68.2 %) fresh Nile perch fish handlers had limited awareness of food-borne pathogens. Only 31.8 % had knowledge about E. coli, Salmonella spp, and Staphylococcus spp. Furthermore, over 63 % believed that consuming contaminated fish could transmit HIV, Covid-19, and Ebola. Male gender, higher income, and advanced education were positively correlated with fish handlers' knowledge of food safety requirements. Fish handlers (57 %) in the local market chain exhibited poor attitudes. Being a male fish handler was significantly (β = 3.43, 95 % CI: 1.65–5.21, P = 0.001) associated with positive attitudes compared to being female. Education at different levels was significantly (Primary (β = 3.19, 95 % CI: 1.05–5.33, P = 0.004); Secondary level (β = 5.883, 95 % CI: 3.52–8.23, P = 0.001); Tertiary (β = 6.09, 95 % CI: 3.03–9.15, P = 0.001)) associated with positive attitudes compared to no education.Practices ensuring food safety were common in the factories and the export market. The study suggests the need for interventions that promote knowledge transfer and food safety culture, particularly in the local market chain.

The Influence of Sustainable Captured Fish Supply Chain Management on the Quality of Sea-Caught Fish Exports

A report from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries explains that Indonesia's total fishery exports in September 2023 will reach US$ 4.1 billion (Rp. 64.1 trillion). This figure is still far from the target to be achieved, namely US$ 7.8 billion in 2023. The aim of this research is to accelerate the development of the National Fisheries Industry which is at the forefront. Take the example of the fisheries supply chain in Cilacap Regency which is the largest producer of caught fish on the island of Java. By using the Soft System Research Methodology (SSM), the efforts made are to outline solutions to unstructured problems, understand the actual problem situation and take action to improve it. From the survey results, there are six problems in the supply chain of capture fisheries industry activities in Cilacap Regency, namely lack of facilities and infrastructure, lack of understanding and knowledge of fishermen, limited capital for capture fisheries businesses, excessive fishing, fishing community culture and weak supervision/law. Meanwhile, the research results show that in an ideal marine fisheries industry supply chain system, Cilacap Regency must carry out coordination and communication activities between caught fish supply chain actors, provide facilities and infrastructure, build logistics networks, standardize production, control storage methods, build systems monitoring, quality assurance of fisheries, and building a capture fisheries trading system. The implications include providing education to fishermen regarding marketing, collecting information about consumers and their needs, developing and developing fishermen's competence, government supervision, building local fishermen's cooperatives and maintaining traditional values.

Measurement of Histamine, Listeria monocytogenes, and Mercury (Hg) in Steak Tuna Product

The export of tuna fish is an essential activity, with major destinations being the United States, China, Japan, ASEAN, and the European Union. The export of fishery products is subject to strict regulations on the levels of histamine, mercury (Hg), and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. In this study, we aimed to determine the levels of histamine and mercury, as well as the presence of L. monocytogenes, in steak tuna products intended for export. The samples were analyzed for histamine levels using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), mercury levels using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), and the presence of L. monocytogenes using Real Time-PCR. Results from our study indicated that all samples with temperatures ranging from −0.2 to −0.3°C had a histamine content of less than one ppm, which meets the acceptance standard for histamine on tuna exports as stipulated by European Commission (EC) number 2073/2005. Additionally, the mercury level in all samples was less than one ppm, which also meets the acceptance standard for mercury on tuna exports as stipulated by EC number 617/2022. Furthermore, L. monocytogenes were absent in all the samples analyzed. Based on our findings, we conclude that steak tuna products are suitable for export to various countries, especially those in the European Union.

Production, Sustainability and Fish Trade Prospect of India by Using Markov Chain Analysis

The paper attempts to analyze fish production and the direction of trade. Data for the analysis was taken from a period of 10 years (2011- 2021) from the Ministry of Commerce & Industry and FAO. To examine the type and extent of increase in the fish area, production, and productivity throughout the course of the year for several countries, including China, Vietnam, the United States, Norway, and India, descriptive statistics and the sustainability index were utilized. Markov chain analysis employing linear programming was then applied to determine transition probabilities in fish trade. The fish export markets were the USA, China, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Kuwait, Hong Kong, and others. The fish export markets were categorized as stable markets (China, USA, Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong) and unstable markets (Japan and Kuwait) based on the magnitude of transition probabilities. Though the country has a good potential for export of fish. India must therefore give rising output more consideration, supported by measures that encourage exports. In addition, initiatives must be made to develop a new market and broaden the trade area to include other significant, global markets.

Problems Experienced By Inland Water Fishermen During The Pandemic (Covid-19): The case of Yozgat Province

The fishermen of Yozgat province, which is located in the middle of the steppe without a seashore, export the fish they catch abroad. During the pandemic, export in fisheries is restricted. For this reason, the aim of this study was to investigate the difficulties and problems experienced by fishermen in Süreyyabey and Gelin Güllü Dam lakes during the pandemic period covering the years 2020-2021 (March-2020; March 2021). In the study, 2 different questionnaire forms were carried out by face-to-face interviews with fishermen and cooperative presidents. As a result of the study; In the fishing period of July-December 2020 (6 months), there was no fish export and the fishery paused. In January-March 2021, exports started to be made at a certain quota. It was determined that 63.63% (n=21) of a total of 33 fishermen in Cekerek Dam Lake quit fishing, 66.66% (n=14) started farming, 33.33% (n=7) migrated, and 36.36% (n=12) continued fishing during the pandemic. In Gelin Güllü Dam lake, 35 % (n=7) of the total 20 fishermen quit fishing, 20 % (n=4) started farming and 65 % (n=16) continued fishing. Carp (Cyprinus carpio), Silver (Atherina boyeri), Siraz (Capoeta pestai), Sudak (Sander lucioperca) species were caught in the region during the pandemic The problems experienced by the fishermen in the region; unregulated fishing, marketing, it was determined that they did not receive any government support.

Влияние экспортно-импортной политики на экономическую безопасность рыбной промышленности в условиях санкционного давления

The influence of export-import policy on the economic security of the fishing industry in the conditions of sanctions pressure is considered. An overview of the sanctions imposed by the European Union that affect the functioning of the fishing industry in Russia is presented. It is noted that sanctions in the future will have a significant impact primarily on the Russian consumer, who in deteriorating economic conditions will be forced to save on the purchase of fish products. The decrease in effective demand is one of the key factors of negative impact on the economic security of the fishing industry of the Russian Federation. The key indicators characterizing the results of export-import activity of the fishing industry of the Russian Federation are analyzed: export and import of fish, fish products and seafood; dynamics of wholesale/retail prices for the main types of fish; dynamics of production volumes (catch) of aquatic biological resources without withdrawal of commercial aquaculture, etc. The available data on the state of the fishing industry of the Russian Federation after the sanctions imposed in 2022 are systematized, as well as factors indicating the presence of threats and risks of ensuring the economic security of the fishing industry of the Russian Federation after the sanctions imposed in 2022 are identified and grouped. An assessment of the scale and nature of the impact of these sanctions on the fishing industry of the Russian Federation is made. The main problems faced by the fishing industry due to EU sanctions against Russia have been identified. The ways of leveling the consequences in the fishing industry caused by the impact of sanctions are proposed, as well as the directions of strengthening the economic security of the fishing industry are proposed.

EXPORT SAGA AT THE SEA

The purpose of this article is to highlight some of the stages of country's export saga. The country is an island, Iceland, a remote island in the north. The export saga spans more than a thousand years, from Viking settlement to the present day. The introduction provides an overview, followed by a story about the generation born a few years before World War II and what life was like before and after the start of significant fish exports. Secondly, it discusses the evolution of exports from Iceland in terms of the goods that dominate exports. Thirdly, it analyses whether the nature of exports has changed in response to the significant export opportunities that have opened up to the US and, subsequently, to Europe with the formation of the EU, EFTA and NAFTA. For a long time, the export of goods in the form of fish has been important for Iceland. In this context, two export stories from Iceland can be told. The export of services in the form of tourism has become more important than the export of goods in recent years. This development is in line with the theory that the more a country develops, the more it shifts its exports from goods to services - which is visible in Iceland's exports, as tourism is classified as a service export in the national accounts, the international standard. The country's export story can be seen as a twilight saga in the stormy seas of international development. The methodology used is based on the popular business SWOT analysis, which allows to assess the benefits of exporting over time. This method helps to assess the following factors: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. The results of a SWOT analysis depend on the factor being assessed: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities or Threats. The matrix approach to SWOT analysis has been structured to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The method has been highly regarded by business researchers. There are several practical implications, and they relate to all dimensions of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Last but not least, the study includes several factors related to value/originality in the industry, which implies issues that exporters should bear in mind and take into account if they start any international activity in the form of exporting fish cargo to other countries.

A Comparative Study of India and China’s Economic Assistance to Maldives

This study aims to assess the comparative analysis of India and China’s economic assistance to Maldives. Maldives is smallest country in South Asia. The republic of Maldives, so far, is one of the least known country in the international community. Maldives, a group of 1200 islands spanning around 90,000 square kilometres in the Indian Ocean Region, has been in the limelight for the last decade. It has population around 5 lakhs. The archipelago country is strategically important for both India and the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The Maldivian economy is primarily driven by tourism and fish exports, and for decades India has been an important trade partner. At present, strategic significance of the Indian ocean region has been increased due to its location, vital for trade and defence. In the Indian Ocean and South Asia, China and India are gaining a dominant role. Both nations are striving for influence in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The Maldives and Indo-China have a significant diplomatic relationship. The Maldives’ potential for self-development has been strengthened and their social and economic growth has been accelerated due to China’s consistent assistance. Both countries provide economic and humanitarian assistance to South Asian countries, and Maldives is one of them. This paper is divided into three parts: Firstly, to evaluate financial help provided by China and India to the Maldives. Secondly, to assess the Maldives response to this assistance provided by China and India to the Maldives. Thirdly, to explore problems and prospects associated with the help providing by China and India to the Maldives.

Studies on the Use of Aquatic Food in Pakistan

The natural resources of Pakistan, such as the Arabian Sea, the Indus Delta, dams, lakes, and mountain streams, present a variety of marine and inland fisheries potentials. These resources support numerous species with dietary and economic value. Fish and other aquatic food are major sources of protein for native people and animal populations worldwide. Fish accounts for 7% of the protein in diet and 17% in animal protein. Fish production in Pakistan rose from 214,231 metric tonnes in 1973 to 733,025 metric tonnes in 2021 at a rate of 4.9% per annum. During the same period, the amount of fish used for human consumption went from 99,368 metric tonnes to 500,866, at an annual rate of 9.7%. Fish export had increased at the rate of 18.6% from 24,623 metric tonnes in 1980 to 217,030 metric tonnes in 2021. The export values reached 496 million US$ in 2022-23. In 2021, fish imports totalled 5,770 metric tonnes. Fish for human consumption in aquatic food chains are typically sold in canned, frozen, cured, or fresh forms. Fresh marketing, freezing, and canning all require special equipment, which involves high capital costs. However, curing is a simple, low-cost preservation process that doesn't involve much in the way of material or capital expenditures. Frozen fishery products are dominant with 85%, followed by live (7%), dried (6%) and chilled (2%). Fish is also processed into meal before being added to animal feed; the bulk of processed fishmeal is used for chicken feed. 16% of the total fish production was converted to fishmeal production. With 25 currently in operation in Karachi and 30 in Gwadar, the country’s fish processing facilities are somewhat old and equipped with outdated machinery. Particularly for rural populations, fisheries resources offer sustainable development, employment opportunities, and financial rewards. Additionally, it has been noted that export statistics for fisheries are not adequately reported, which is necessary for them to be comparable to those of other countries. The study also provides sources for fisheries statistics.

A School of Local Fish on the School Lunch Menu

School cafeterias in the Canary Islands use mainly seafood that is imported from far-away industrial fishing operations, even though there are several nearby fishing fleets. The nearby fleets fish for tuna the traditional way, catching them one by one off of mostly small-scale fishing boats, with the hook and line technique. These boats are eco-friendly, but they tend to export their tuna—several thousand tons each year—to mainland Spain or other countries. So, in 2018, we started a project to supply local tuna and other fish steaks to about a dozen Canary Islands school cafeterias, in an attempt to reduce fish exports and imports. This is good for the environment because it decreases the amount of fuel used to move food from place to place. We hope our work will not only help school kids to eat healthier, but also improve the eating habits and health of the entire local population.

The state and trends of the export of fish and fish products in the Russian Federation

The resource base of Russia’s aquatic bioresources makes it possible to provide the domestic market and develop exports of fish and fish products with high added value, but for this it is necessary to revise the export conditions. Russian fish exports have low economic efficiency and continue to be raw materials. In 2013, frozen fish occupied the first place in export products with a share of 87,4% in total volume (1,714 million tons) and 71% in value ($2,559 million, or $1,5 thousand per ton). By the end of 2021, the position has not changed, the share in total exports decreased by 8.1 percentage points, to 79,3% (1,72 million tons), but only due to the overall growth in exports.
