Digital Horizons for Indonesian Fisheries: Leveraging Online Platforms for Industry Growth and Sustainability
Abstract
The Indonesian fisheries sector, one of the world’s most productive, faces mounting pressures from overfishing, supply chain inefficiencies, and climate change. This study explores the transformative role of digital technologies and online platforms in addressing these challenges while driving sustainable growth. By analyzing case studies of e-commerce marketplaces, traceability systems, and mobile applications that connect fishers directly to consumers and exporters, we demonstrate how digital solutions enhance market access, improve price transparency, and strengthen resource management. Additionally, the research highlights the enabling policy and infrastructure conditions necessary to scale digital adoption across small-scale fisheries. Findings suggest that integrating digital platforms can promote resilience, equitable value distribution, and environmental stewardship in Indonesia’s fisheries, offering a model for other developing maritime economies.
