Role of national fish logistic system (SLIN) based on the fishing port in supporting food security in Simeulue Island, Aceh Province, Indonesia

The aim of this study is to know the national fish logistics system as an effort to support sustainable food security. One of the potential that Indonesia has is capturing fisheries which reached 6.4 million tons of fish per year. However, it has not been managed properly in an effort to support food security. Besides, the fish production in certain fishing ports often excess supply and limited of fish in several other fishing ports. This will lead to practices that suppress fish prices when overproduction, even fishermen/cultivators dispose of their products to maintain price stability, without taking into account the sustainability aspects. This issue can be resolved immediately with a study that leads to SLIN, but having a commitment to support this business has developed the concept of connectivity between regions. the study was taken in 10 fishing ports at Simeulue Island which used type D. The result showed that from the aspect of development goals, it is necessary to provide supply continuously, to utilize the potential optimally and to coordinate the integration of fish availability in production centers and/or collection centers or distribution center, obstacle elements include; lack of PP facilities and infrastructure, no integration between PPs, and lack of diversification of HT and products.
