ATINA-ASIC South Sulawesi AIP (South Sulawesi Indonesia)

ATINA-ASIC South Sulawesi AIP (South Sulawesi Indonesia)

ASIC and PT ATINA

South Sulawesi, Indonesia

The South Sulawesi ASIC Ecoshrimp AIP operates in Lanrisang District, Pinrang Regency, and will increase the market recognition of responsible shrimp farming by verifying extensive shrimp farming to the ASIC Shrimp protocol. This will be achieved via a collaboration between local farmers and traders, a processing plant (PT ATINA), and supported by the local department of fisheries (Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Kabupaten Pinrang).

AIP aims:

  • Verify shrimp farming practices to the ASIC Shrimp protocol
  • Promote low environmental impact shrimp farming practices that increase social equity by building the capacity of local shrimp farmers
  • Promote coordination among farmers to minimize disease risks*
  • Promote and develop policies and programs with local government and associated agencies that support local shrimp farmers and communities

*The ASIC Shrimp Protocol under the Shrimp Health Section requires farmers to coordinate and inform neighboring farms if a disease is observed and to develop relevant management actions.
