Abstract

Over the past few years, fishery growth has always exceeded economic growth in Indonesia. Based on this performance, more focused policies are needed to manage it. This study aims to develop a strategy for the fishing industry, specifically related to the center of the fisheries processing industry in Indonesia, with a descriptive secondary data approach, including an analysis of the development of fisheries production base areas namely Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share Analysis (SSA) during 2013-2018. This study found that LQ scores were high in Maluku Province. The results indicate that related industries have a higher relative advantage than the average of all provinces, or also called basic industries. SSAs with positive scores occur in South Sulawesi Province, which shows that fisheries are a growing industry. Fisheries development strategies from this research include: (1) Improving coordination between sectors, (2) Identification and synchronization of industrial policies; (3) Developing areas that have more than one LQ as a basis for national fisheries; and (4) Selection of suitable industrial scale related to sustainable resources and regional superiority. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
