Bandung, IndonesiaSentinel.com — The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) said the impact of the anti-dumping case of frozen Indonesian shrimp in the United States market has the potential to threaten the fate of 46,590 shrimp farmers in Indonesia. Tens of thousands of farmers are said to lose their livelihoods due to the dumping case.

“The potential impact of anti-dumping is what we are all concentrating on, which will impact 46,590 farmers in Indonesia,” said Director General of Strengthening the Competitiveness of Marine and Fishery Products of the KKP, Budi Sulistiyo at the Mina Bahari IV Building of KKP, Central Jakarta, Monday, September 2, 2024.

In addition, this anti-dumping case will impact hundreds of thousands of workers involved in the shrimp supply chain. They are at risk of losing their jobs if the anti-dumping problem is not resolved properly.

Budi explained that in resolving the anti-dumping issue, the Ministry has received assistance from the minister’s special staff in carrying out the instruction given by the Minister, Wahyu Sakti Trenggono. Which aims to oversee and resolve the anti-dumping problem.

Not only that, the anti-dumping case is said to have an impact on 403 shrimp processing units, with hundreds of the units employing around 63 thousand workers. “Where 70 percent of those working in this industry are women,” said Budi in a press statement entitled “Update on the Case of Alleged Shrimp Dumping in the U.S.”.

Previously, on October 25, 2023, Indonesia received accusations of anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) regarding the export of frozen shrimp to the United States market. Furthermore, the American Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA) or the American Shrimp Processors Association filed an anti-dumping and CVD petition to Indonesia.

The petition covers all frozen tropical shrimp from Indonesia, excluding fresh shrimp and shrimp that have been seasoned (breaded).

However, the accusation against Indonesia was proven wrong, as on March 25, the United States Department of Commerce (USDOC) issued a provisional decision that the Indonesian government was not proven to have subsidized.

Then on May 23, 2024, USDOC issued a provisional decision that the dumping margin by PT Bahari Makmur Sejati was 0 percent and PT First Marine Seafood was 6.3 percent.

“Based on U.S. regulations, PT FMS and all other Indonesian frozen shrimp exporters are subject to an anti-dumping duty of 6.3 percent,” said Budi.
