Application of technology to increase economic value and consumer preferences of tilapia, stingray and cow leather products

Abstract

Technological innovation in the business world can immediately increase the novelty, economic value, added value & market segment of commercial products. Preservation, tanning & processing technology can increase the novelty, economic value & market segment of commercial leather products. The objective of the research is to examine the impact of technological innovation on the economic value, added value & consumer preferences for fish leather products. This study uses market segmentation, value-added, consumer preferences and descriptive methods. The economic value of commercial fish skin products are as follows: (1) preservation technology produces economic value of fresh tilapia skin of IDR 3,000 per sheet, stingray skin of IDR 50,000 & cowhide of IDR 5,000; (2) tanning technology produces economic value for tilapia skin of IDR 7,500 per sheet, stingray skin of IDR 125,000 and cowhide of IDR 10,000; (3) the design and technology of processing a 3-in-1 tilapia skin wallet produces an economic value of IDR 300,000; 3-in-1 stingray skin wallet for IDR 400,000 & 3-in-1 cowhide wallet for IDR 240,000. The added value of the 3-in-1 tilapia skin wallets is IDR 441,000; stingray leather wallet which is IDR 650,000 & 3-in-1 cowhide wallet is IDR 235,000. The average value of consumer preferences for commercial tilapia, stingray & cow leather wallets are 85%, 90% & 75%. The highest consumer preferences are based on the attributes of color, shape and price.

Uso de la semilla de alpiste en alimentos para peces dulceacuícolas: una revisión

“…La acuicultura mundial en 2018 alcanzó una producción récord de 114.5 millones de toneladas; además, se ha estimado que para el año 2050 el consumo de peces será abastecido principalmente por la acuicultura, siendo el consumo de tilapia considerado de alta demanda, con un incremento anual estimado en su demanda de 2 a 3% a escala global (FAO, 2020). Sin embargo, este incremento ha provocado varios problemas entre los que destacan el desabasto de insumos acuícolas, el aumento de los precios, deficiencias nutrimentales, la presencia de enfermedades y en la última década la inquietud de generar un mayor valor agregado a la cadena productiva de la misma afectando así el desarrollo económico del sector (Gutiérrez et al, 2020;Sahubawa et al, 2021;Sukri et al, 2022), por lo cual se requiere la búsqueda de nuevos insumos con potencial de utilizarse en alimentos acuícolas para incrementar la eficiencia de la producción comercial de peces dulceacuícolas (Audu, 2021;Tewari & Kaur, 2022).…”
