In Indonesia, fish and shrimp farmers are embracing technology to improve their yields and ensure sustainability. With the help of tools like Mas Ahya, a generative AI assistant developed by eFishery, farmers can now monitor water quality, feed schedules, and receive expert advice directly on their mobile phones.
Mas Ahya, accessible through a mobile app, provides real-time data on crucial parameters like pH, oxygen levels, temperature, and salinity, allowing farmers to make informed decisions to keep their aquatic stock healthy. By using this technology, farmers like Andriyono and Ira have seen significant improvements in their farming practices, from more precise feeding to quicker responses to potential issues.
For Andriyono, who switched from rice farming to shrimp farming a decade ago, Mas Ahya has become an indispensable tool, helping him boost shrimp survival rates and increase export yields. Similarly, Ira, a tilapia farmer, has benefited from automated feeding and water quality monitoring, allowing her to streamline her operations and increase productivity.
eFishery’s mission is not only to modernize traditional aquaculture but also to promote sustainability practices among farmers. Mas Ahya not only provides practical solutions to immediate problems but also educates farmers on the importance of sustainability certifications and best practices. This combination of technology and sustainability is attracting a new generation of farmers who see the potential of merging IT with fish farming.
As aquaculture continues to grow in Indonesia and around the world, the integration of technology like Mas Ahya offers hope for more efficient and sustainable farming practices, ensuring a steady supply of seafood while preserving the environment for future generations.
