Pond to Plate: Sustainable shrimp farming in Aceh
After the 2004 tsunami destroyed the aquaculture industry in Aceh, Indonesia, an area famous for shrimp, small-scale farmers struggled to rebuild their businesses. Now, as part of the IDH-funded Sustaining Shrimp Farming in Aceh project, WorldFish and partners are working with the Aceh Aquaculture Cooperative, formed in 2013, to establish a sustainable business model for the farming of black tiger shrimp, a premium product in foreign markets. The project provided training and support to farmers, helping them to increase their yield, access credit to buy feeds and fertilizer, and connect with buyers in Singapore.
