STELINA Kick-off Workshop: Advancing Interoperable Seafood Traceability

Koltiva joined the STELINA Kick-off Workshop, an industry-defining event led by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) in partnership with the Indonesia Pole and Line and Handline Fisheries Association (AP2HI) and the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST). Held on 22 June 2025 at the Grand Hyatt Bali, the workshop convened regulators, industry experts, seafood processors, and technology providers to advance Indonesia’s roadmap toward harmonized, GDST-aligned traceability for tuna and shrimp supply chains.

Representing Koltiva, Sarah Harding, Aquatic Resources and Standards Specialist, spoke in the panel session on “The Role of Technology in Strengthening Traceability.” She shared insights from Koltiva’s work enabling digital traceability systems that connect first-mile fishers to global markets while ensuring sustainability, compliance, and data integrity.

The workshop also marked an important milestone in Indonesia’s commitment to interoperable traceability through the STELINA system—an initiative designed to reduce reporting duplication, safeguard data privacy, and support inclusive digital transformation for smallholders and fishers.

Koltiva’s participation reflects its leadership in building standards-aligned, end-to-end seafood traceability solutions, following the company’s achievement as the first Indonesian provider to pass the GDST First Mile Capability Test for aquaculture.
