The Framework Analysis of Small and Medium Fishery Industries in West Papua Province, Indonesia

Abstract

West Papua's fishery resources are in fishery management areas 715 and 717 with a potential of 1,242,526 tonnes/ha and 1,054,695 tonnes/ha respectively. On average, most fishery products are marketed fresh and only 1.20% are in the form of further processing. Therefore, the analysis of small and medium fisheries industries’ (SMFI) development framework is needed to encourage small and medium fisheries enterprises to grow and be sustainable. The analytical framework is realized by considering the initial data consisting of household capacity of fishermen, product superiority, and maximum sustainable yield; data management and processing; support from legal policy; community-based institutions; and co-management arrangements.
