Which authority should a Indonesia farm developer approach first?

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is the sector authority. Government Regulation PP 28/2025 replaced PP 5/2021 as the basis for risk-based business licensing; use current OSS guidance rather than an older permit checklist.

Does RAS remove approval or discharge obligations?

No. Confirm site rights, water supply, discharge and environmental requirements with the competent authority. Evaluate treatment, energy, staffing and emergency arrangements before selecting recirculation.

What is the next practical step before requesting equipment quotes?

Prepare the site and species brief, identify unresolved approvals, and collect measured water and power inputs. Use the linked tools for sensitivity checks only; request comparable equipment duties, exclusions, commissioning and spare-parts scope.

Aquaculture projects in Indonesia

For an Indonesian commercial aquaculture project, define the island, water source and production system first, then confirm KKP and OSS requirements for the specific activity and site. Shrimp ponds, freshwater fish systems and marine cages need different equipment and approval checks. Include last-mile delivery, commissioning and spare parts in the comparison—not only the port price.

Request supplier quotes Sourcing suppliers in Indonesia

For commercial fish and shrimp farm developers and operators, not aquarium or hobby systems. Start with site feasibility and approvals, then prepare comparable equipment duties.

Which Indonesian licensing and farming-practice rules matter?

Confirm the current OSS business identification and risk-based requirements for the exact aquaculture activity, scale and location. PP 28/2025 is the updated framework; do not assume that an NIB alone completes every approval.
KKP Regulation 22/2024 addresses Cara Pembesaran Ikan yang Baik (CBIB), or good fish grow-out practices. Check the applicable implementation and certification requirements with KKP; a farming-practice certificate is not a substitute for site or environmental approval.
Ask the competent authorities to identify spatial-use, environmental, intake and discharge obligations. Marine cages and land-based ponds do not have identical requirements. Do not assume every farm needs the same assessment or marine-space authorisation.

How should an island site change the equipment scope?

Specify the receiving port and the farm’s final delivery point, lifting and access constraints, local electrical supply and the responsible installer. Price freight, packing, inland transfer and commissioning separately.
For ponds, obtain seasonal water and drainage data before choosing pumps or salinity-control measures. For marine cages, obtain measured depth, currents and exposure plus a site-matched mooring design; a cage diameter alone is insufficient.

What should the equipment comparison include?

Compare pumping at the same flow and total head, aeration under stated test conditions, and filtration against the intended feed and solids load. Require test evidence, materials, electrical load, consumables, spare parts, commissioning and acceptance criteria; a catalogue rating is not a site design.
Separate equipment from earthworks, power connections, water storage, effluent treatment, installation and freight. Ask who owns every interface and who supports repairs at the actual site. No projected yield, survival or savings is guaranteed.

What belongs in the project brief?

Provide site coordinates and administrative area, species and life stage, annual harvest target, pond or tank dimensions, seasonal water tests, water availability, electricity and backup arrangements, proposed discharge route, seed supply, budget currency and delivery point. Mark unverified assumptions separately from measured inputs.
Use hectares (ha) for land, cubic metres (m³) for water volume, m³/h for flow, kilograms for biomass and tonnes/year for harvest. Record power in kW and energy in kWh. Obtain species-specific operating limits from the farm designer; calculator defaults are not local recommendations.
For an illustrative existing-pond upgrade, first record the current layout, pumping duty, power interruptions and maintenance history. Compare repairing aeration and water handling with a complete redesign before ordering new tanks. This example assumes no production gain and uses no invented project price.

Local production context

▸FAO’s Indonesia aquaculture overview documents freshwater carp, tilapia and catfish alongside brackishwater shrimp production. It provides historical sector context, not current stocking recommendations or permission to develop a site.
▸The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is the sector authority. Government Regulation PP 28/2025 replaced PP 5/2021 as the basis for risk-based business licensing; use current OSS guidance rather than an older permit checklist.

Commercial project route

Is your project in Indonesia a fit?

FishMatch Group handles commercial B2B projects with a total budget of USD 250,000 or more — new farms, hatcheries, RAS, cages, processing or expansions. The buyer sends one brief; our team reviews and structures the RFQ, then approaches suitable suppliers on the buyer's behalf. Buyers are not put in direct contact with manufacturers at this stage. Smaller or idea-stage projects can start with the calculators below and send the RFQ once scope and budget are clearer.

Which inputs change the estimate and the RFQ?

Calculator results and supplier quotes both depend on: species and life stage, production target (tonnes per year or PL per cycle), water source and quality (temperature, salinity, flow), system design (pond, cage, RAS, hatchery, processing), site and access, energy supply and price, permits, and timeline.

Calculator figures are planning estimates based on stated assumptions — not engineering designs or supplier quotes. Growth, survival and output depend on project-specific biology and operating conditions and are never guaranteed. Formulas, assumptions and sources: calculator methodology.
