The ornamental coral industry in Banyuwangi has successfully expanded its global reach, with products now penetrating markets across three continents: Asia, Europe, and North America. Recent trade data indicates that a single export shipment of these high-quality corals can reach a value of USD 6,000. This success highlights the high international demand for Indonesia’s marine biodiversity and showcases the ability of local coastal businesses to compete at a premium level in the global aquarium and ornamental marine trade.

This achievement is a direct result of strict adherence to international trade regulations and sustainable cultivation practices that ensure the preservation of marine ecosystems. The expansion into diverse global markets demonstrates the resilience of Banyuwangi’s maritime sector and its potential to drive regional economic growth. By maintaining high biosecurity and quality standards, local exporters are not only boosting the regional economy but also reinforcing Indonesia's reputation as a world-class provider of ethically sourced ornamental marine life.
