KI intends to commission a diagnostic fisheries supply chain survey in WPP 572 to support the establishment of the proposed Sumatra Large-Scale Marine Protected Area (LSMPA). The assignment will be conducted primarily in the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, with additional locations to be confirmed during the inception phase.
The consultancy aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of fisheries supply chains in WPP 572, focusing on fishing unit segmentation, supply chain structures, economic performance and price dynamics, compliance and reporting practices, PHPI (Penerimaan Hasil Perikanan Indonesia) and willingness-to-pay considerations, cold chain infrastructure, and stakeholder perspectives related to fisheries sustainability mechanisms. The assessment will generate an evidence-based and policy-relevant understanding of these dimensions to inform the design and implementation of the Sumatra LSMPA and the development of fisheries-related economic programs in the region.
Through targeted quantitative surveys, qualitative inquiry, and direct field observations, the study will identify structural patterns, economic incentives, bottlenecks, and governance gaps that can inform LSMPA planning and management, compliance and traceability strategies, investment prioritization (e.g., cold chain, landing sites), and adaptive fisheries management in WPP 572. The findings will enable policymakers to integrate traceability and sustainable sourcing into MPA frameworks, design interventions that reward compliant fisheries, align zoning and access provisions with operational realities, and position the LSMPA as a credible platform for attracting investment in climate-resilient fisheries infrastructure.
