IFC in Aceh

Aceh Shrimp Project, Gandapura Subdistrict, Bireuen District

Shrimp farmer in Gandapura, Bireuen district. Many farmers participating in IFC’s shrimpproject saw encouraging decreases in shrimp mortality during the first growing cycle. In thefirst month of the cycle, only six percent of ponds were affected by disease, as compared with80% before the project.

Seaweed was introduced to the shrimpfarms, a first for Aceh. Seaweed acts as abiofilter and improves the overall health ofthe shrimp. With sufficient volume, seaweedcan also become a cash crop.

Removing black sludge, consisting of yearsof accumulated shrimp waste, improves theenvironment for shrimp. This backbreakingwork was a key recommendation by theProject.
