Relatively Good Pricing of Blue Swimming Crab in Indonesia for Season 2023

In Indonesia, the blue swimming crab is in season in January 2023. The producers of pasteurized crab meat can meet their raw material needs with relatively stable selling prices in the range of USD 4/kg (IDR 60k/kg). The producers choose to obtain from the local supply since these rates are better than import prices. Nevertheless, some manufacturers still submit applications for import permits in anticipation of the off-season, when the supply of blue swimming crab will likely decline, and the price will probably increase.
