We are planning to certify more fi sh with the AquaGAP label in 2012.Misai Tsai, President Director, Lucky Samudra Pratama

Lying on a small island around 60 km north of Jakarta, Lucky Samudra is an off-

shore marine culture company with 250 employees specialised in the production of

pompano. Besides marine aquaculture, the company also processes products from

wild catch such as red snapper, barramundi and golden trevally. All products are

processed in compliance with the food safety standards HACCP (Hazard Analysis

and Critical Control Points) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practises) and therefore

traceability can be assured.

With the support of SIPPO, Lucky Samudra showcased their products at the European

Seafood Exhibition (ESE) in 2010. By participating in this international trade show, the

company successfully established numerous business contacts with major European

companies and won new customers, also gaining valuable practical experience as an

exhibitor. Moreover, the company not only increased their sales and number of employ-

ees, but also gained new insights into product development and certifi cation issues.

As a major result, Lucky Samudra realised the importance of the AquaGAP certifi cation, a

new standard for Good Aquaculture Practices. AquaGAP certifi cation on farm-raised

seafood aims to ensure consumer trust in the quality of sustainably produced seafood

products. Lucky Samudra started the certifi cation process with IMO (Institute for Market-

ecology) and after several audits received its AquaGAP certifi cation in January 2011.

The AquaGAP label opens a wide range of new possibilities for Lucky Samudra on the

European market. Being the fi rst Indonesian company with the AquaGAP certifi cation for

their pompano is a great milestone in the company’s long term commitment to sustaina-

bility and environmentally sound aquaculture practices, in conjunction with their stand-

ards for high quality products.

SIPPO helped us to successfully establish contacts with new customers in Europe. Misai Tsai, President Director, Lucky Samudra Pratama.
