Sustainable Indonesian Squid


Introduction 

Sustainability is now a purchasing standard. In seafood—especially squid—buyers need proof of ethical harvesting, clean processing, and verifiable traceability.
Indonesia’s coastal fisheries and certified plants are aligning tradition with eco-trade to deliver squid that is responsible, consistent, and export-ready.


The Global Demand (Why It Matters)

HORECA, retail, and value-added processors expect suppliers to:

  • Demonstrate bycatch reduction and responsible practices.

  • Maintain cold-chain integrity with documented controls.

  • Provide EU/FDA-compliant paperwork and lot-level traceability.
    Sustainable Indonesian squid helps brands meet customer expectations and retailer audits—without sacrificing specs or yield.

  2. Seasonal, Multi-Region Landings – Risk spread across regions supports continuity and resource balance.

  3. Clean, Controlled Processing – IQF/block, glaze control, and STP/Non-STP programs with clear declaration.

  4. Export DisciplineHACCP, ISO 22000, BRC systems with auditable SOPs and documentation.
