The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is streamlining the export process for seafood products by integrating the Processing Feasibility Certificate (SKP) with the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification. This initiative aims to simplify compliance for businesses while ensuring high-quality standards for export markets. SKP, which implements Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP), is now a prerequisite for obtaining HACCP certification, a key requirement in international trade. Businesses can now apply for both certifications online via the OSS system, with KKP quality inspectors verifying documents and conducting on-site inspections across provinces.
The integrated service has already been effectively implemented in regions such as West Kalimantan, North Maluku, and Southeast Sulawesi, where KKP units provide direct support to seafood processing facilities. Inspectors ensure compliance with HACCP standards by evaluating hygiene protocols, traceability systems, customer complaint handling, and employee training. Products such as frozen and fresh tuna, crab, lobster, and pelagic fish benefit from these streamlined procedures, boosting Indonesia’s seafood exports. KKP Minister Sakti Wahyu Trenggono emphasized the importance of improving certification services to enhance regional export performance, reinforcing Indonesia’s position in the global seafood market.
