New farmers development inside Indonesian
shrimp industry
The Indonesian
shrimp industry is already started since the sixties era as it is the
start of shrimp industry around the world. However, during that era, the shrimp
industry in Indonesia is not really an industry as it is done in very simple
way thus it is not really suitable to be called as industry. There is less
technology that they can use during that era, and they also lacking information
which makes the industry cannot grow better as fast as it should be. However,
after decades of development and experience that they gain during the time, now
you can see that the shrimp industry in Indonesia has become advanced. You can
even compare their industry side by side with industry in the other country. Furthermore
now they already able to produce many kinds of shrimp in the industry which
show that the information they get is already wide.
The Indonesian
shrimp industry is able to grow because of the farming in the country
which is supported by many parties. Thus the industry gains a lot of support
not only from the people inside the industry, but also from the government and
the society. Especially since the industry is able to give a lot of
contribution to the country’s economic gain. Thus the government and the
society are supporting the industry so it can continue to get better which in
time will also increase their contribution to the country itself. Furthermore,
they also support the growth of the shrimp industry in Indonesia by encouraging
new farmer to also take part inside this industry. By giving enough knowledge
and support now new farmer are able to developed high quality product even
though they are new inside the industry.
Important knowledge that new farmer have to
know is about the pond preparation which needed when they want to take part
inside the Indonesian shrimp industry. Now
even a new farmer already know that they need to prepare the pond at least one
year ahead of production time in order to create high quality product. They
already know that a new pond cannot be use to grow the shrimp for at least one
year time period. During that time period the food supply which is needed by
the shrimp is still developing, thus there would not be enough food supply inside
the pond if they even insist to grow the shrimp inside.
That is why, during that time period they
will grow the shrimp temporarily inside different storage. It is actually very
easy for them to find different storage to be use as temporary growing storage
for the shrimp as the shrimp actually can grow in various environments. Furthermore
Indonesian shrimp industry is also done
using different storage as the environments such as water tank, aquarium or
even a swimming pool. However, as it seems that the shrimp grows better inside
pond environment, then this environment is still preferred by many people
inside the industry.
Other knowledge that new farmer need to
know in order to create high quality product is about the water supply given
for the pond itself. The water supply can be taken from many kinds of resources
such as river, reservoir and even stream. However, that water should have the
required condition which needed by the shrimp to grow better. Thus with the
support of new and more advanced technology, now they are able to test the
water to know if the condition match with the requirement. By doing that entire
preparation, even new farmer inside the Indonesian
shrimp industry is as good as old farmer.
