Shrimp Outlook 2026, held in Yogyakarta on February 12, 2026, served as a strategic forum for aquaculture industry stakeholders to discuss market developments, production efficiency, and technological innovation in shrimp farming. 

Today, the shrimp farming industry is navigating pressure from multiple fronts — rising production costs, the need for feed efficiency, disease risks, and increasing demand for more sustainable farming systems. In this landscape, collaboration and integrated approaches are no longer optional; they are essential to maintaining Indonesia’s competitiveness in global markets. 

At the event, Bahtera Adi Jaya participated alongside its global principals, Adisseo and Blue Aqua, to introduce an integrated system designed to support farm performance from start to finish. 

Challenges in Modern Shrimp Farming and Aquaculture Systems 

In both intensive and semi-intensive shrimp farming systems, challenges rarely occur in isolation. Each stage of production influences the next, including: 

  • Pond preparation before stocking, including plankton build-up and water stabilization 
  • Nutritional optimization and feed efficiency to support growth 
  • Shrimp health management to minimize disease risk 
  • Water quality control throughout the production cycle 

An imbalance in any one area can impact overall performance, including FCR, survival rate, and harvest size. For this reason, piecemeal solutions often fall short in delivering long-term results. 

Integrated Solutions for More Efficient Shrimp Farming 

Under the booth theme “One System. One Partner. Better Aquaculture Result,” Bahtera emphasized the importance of integration within aquaculture systems. 

The solutions presented included: 

  • Feed additives from Adisseo, designed to enhance nutrient efficiency and support growth performance 
  • Water treatment solutions from Blue Aqua, aimed at maintaining stable water quality parameters in ponds 

This integrated approach enables farmers to manage shrimp farming operations in a more measurable and structured way — from pond preparation and grow-out to harvest. 

The alignment between nutrition strategies and water quality management forms a strong foundation for building more stable and sustainable farming systems. 

Bahtera’s Role in Indonesia’s Aquaculture Ecosystem 

As an official distributor, Bahtera does more than supply products. The company supports farmers through a consultative and technical approach. 

Support is provided across multiple stages: 

  • Initial pond condition assessment 
  • Nutrition and water management program recommendations 
  • Monitoring throughout the production cycle 
  • Post-harvest evaluation to improve the next cycle 

This support model is designed to help farmers improve consistency in shrimp farming results while managing risks more systematically. 

Industry Engagement and On-Site Discussions 

Throughout Shrimp Outlook 2026, Bahtera’s booth attracted strong interest from farmers, pond technicians, and industry stakeholders. 

Key discussion topics included: 

  • Strategies to improve production efficiency 
  • Stabilizing water quality management 
  • Implementing system-based approaches in modern shrimp farming 

The engagement reflected a growing industry demand for solutions that are not only effective but also integrated and practical in real-world operations. 

Commitment to Sustainable Shrimp Farming 

Bahtera’s participation in Shrimp Outlook 2026 is part of its long-term commitment to advancing Indonesia’s aquaculture industry. 

Through collaboration with Adisseo and Blue Aqua, Bahtera aims to serve as a strategic partner for shrimp farmers by: 

  • Improving production efficiency 
  • Supporting environmental stability in ponds 
  • Promoting more sustainable farming systems 

With an integrated approach, shrimp farming becomes more than just chasing higher yields — it becomes about building resilient, sustainable production systems for the long haul. Find your solutions with Bahtera here.
