FRANCE
Friday, March 29, 2024

INDONESIA
Friday, March 29, 2024

eFishery, an Indonesia-based aquaculture firm, has acquihired DycodeX, a local AI-powered IoT startup. The deal, whose terms are undisclosed, will let eFishery expand its AI plans, which includes an upcoming brand called eFishery.ai.

The DycodeX team will join eFishery’s artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) and cultivation intelligence team, which is part of the unicorn’s product division. DycodeX co-founder and CEO Andri Yadi will lead the team as vice president.

With the new team, eFishery is planning a two- to three-year roadmap where it would launch 10 new products. They will take the form of IoT products and platforms, a generative AI product, as well as other aquaculture intelligence solutions.

Currently, eFishery has one AI-powered product called eFeeder, which allows its clients to enable automatic feeding for fish and shrimp cultivation. Other products include a feed marketplace and a B2B platform for fish trading. The company further said that with Yadi and his team, it expects product development cycle to be 3x to 4x faster.

The DycodeX acquihire comes as eFishery’s in expansion mode. Last year, the company entered India – its first overseas market – while raising $200 million in series D funding , which boosted its valuation to US$1.4 billion.

As of January 2024, eFishery said it counts 200,000 fish farmers as clients.


IN BRIEF – 'The French vessel that is to come to patrol Guyana’s waters, saving the country $100M through illegal fishing, is yet to dock here'

FRENCH GUIANA
Friday, March 29, 2024

The disclosure was made by Vice President (VP) Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday at his weekly press conference.

The VP was asked by a report of this publication if he can say whether the French vessel that the President spoke of, that will be patrolling the waters, saving the country $100M has arrived? Jagdeo said that, “It has not. But this is the estimate. Remember when we were talking about policing our exclusive economic zone so we do have to look at it. It’s estimated that we can lose as much as $100M per year from illegal fishing in our waters. This is deep sea though.”

The Vice President explained that investing in additional assets for the Guyana Defence Force will help curb illegal fishing. It was previously reported in the media that government was in talks with French officials in relation to having a large ship stationed in Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone. This is to facilitate the prevention of hundreds of millions in losses due to illegal fishing.

IN BRIEF - At WTO, Australia seeks details on India's fisheries plan

AUSTRALIA
Thursday, March 28, 2024

Australia has sought details of India's fisheries programmes such as the policy objective, budget expenditure and coverage. At a meeting at the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Tuesday, it also asked if there are performance requirements such as export or production-based targets attached to payments or loans under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY).

Besides the duration of the programme, it wants details on the background, authority, forms of subsidies, policy objective or purpose and a confirmation whether the PMMSY supersedes the Blue Revolution: Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries. The questions were raised after the WTO members failed to reach an agreement on fisheries subsidies at the 13th ministerial conference in Abu Dhabi last month.

Australia sought confirmation on whether one of the objectives of PMMSY in relation to marine fishing is especially to harness tuna resources both in India's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and the high seas. EEZs are areas up to 200 nautical miles from the shore and beyond that are the high seas. "Australia wants to know the coverage of this fisheries plan and if it covers aquaculture as well as marine capture fishing," said an official, who did not wish to be identified.

Another set of questions raised by Australia relates to India's programme on conversion of trawlers into resource specific deep-sea fishing vessels.[...]
