South Sumatra has achieved a significant milestone in securing its aquaculture sector, with official confirmation that its Vaname shrimp production remains free from the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). This health certification is a vital step in strengthening the regional supply chain and ensuring that local shrimp products meet the stringent biosecurity standards required by international markets. By maintaining a disease-free status, the province reinforces its position as a reliable source of high-quality shrimp, providing a competitive edge for Indonesian exporters in the global arena.

For association members and industry stakeholders, this achievement highlights the effectiveness of rigorous monitoring and sustainable farming practices implemented across the region. The local government, in collaboration with maritime authorities, continues to prioritize biosecurity protocols and technical assistance for farmers to mitigate disease risks. This status not only boosts investor confidence but also secures long-term economic stability for the aquaculture industry. As South Sumatra scales up its export capacity, the focus remains on maintaining these high health standards to ensure the continued growth and resilience of Indonesia’s shrimp industry.
