Supply Chain Integration in the Indonesian Aquaculture Industry; Finding Challenges and Opportunities

Aquaculture presents an alternative food security solution, and in Indonesia, the industry is rapidly expanding due to abundant natural resources. Indonesia is a significant player in aquaculture production in Southeast Asia, ranking third globally after China and India. In 2019, Indonesia also joined the top five consumers of aquaculture products, alongside China, India, the United States, and Japan. Aquaculture is more diverse than other agricultural sectors and very challenging due to the variety of aquaculture types, ownership structures, and watering channel management methods. and other factors that need to be integrated because one of the reasons is they operate with supply chains that have a limited degree of integration, particularly with retailers and private standards schemes. This integration involves both customers and suppliers along with supply chain risks has received less attention. This complex integration cannot be done by fish farmers or aquaculture companies alone. It requires cooperation between fish farmers, engineers, scientists or academics, software developers, economists and relevant government agencies to integrate everything effectively. This study will focus on describing the potential supply chain integration along with it challenges. This study uses systematic literature review or SLR as a method to review the existing literature on a particular topic so that the results of SLR can be used to see the gaps from previous studies combined with bibliometric analysis. The study aims to provide a brief bibliometric review studies in understanding challenges and opportunities in supply chain integration. The findings show that, while initiatives for integration exist, there are still significant gaps and areas for improvement. This study focuses on literature that discusses supply chain integration in the aquaculture industry. The bibliometric reviews in this study will delve into supply chain integration in the aquaculture industry, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in this field. Additionally, they will aid stakeholders in understanding the challenges and opportunities present in this industry.
