Open data strategy for enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of fishery SMEs in Indonesia

Abstract

The using of open data to improve transparency and public participation in the national development has become an issue in Indonesia. The public, including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can use the open data provided by the government and other related institutions in order to increase their profits and benefits. The SMEs in fish farming and processing are also trying to use open data in order to improve their productivity and competitiveness. However, current open data in fishery SMEs are scattered in different sites with different status and lack of strategy to integrate and utilize them efficiently. This paper proposed a top-down model as a strategy to identify problem, opportunity and challenges of integrating and using open data for fishery SMEs. The result is a model that can be used for supporting decisions made by SMEs.
