Jakarta. Indonesia has resumed shrimp exports to the United States, shipping around 3,400 containers valued at an estimated Rp11 trillion ($639 million), the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry (KKP) said on Monday, marking a recovery after last year’s disruption linked to contamination concerns.
Acting KKP Secretary General Andy Artha Donny Oktopura said the government has strengthened its end-to-end food safety assurance system, covering production, processing and distribution, to ensure Indonesian seafood meets both domestic and international standards.
“We are reinforcing quality assurance from upstream production, both capture fisheries and aquaculture, so all products comply with required standards,” Andy said at the Food Summit 2026 in Jakarta.
He added that oversight has also been tightened in processing and packaging stages, with certification applied at each step to ensure products remain safe until they reach consumers.
