Navigating Challenges: Aruna’s Commitment to Sustainability in Indonesia’s Fisheries Sector

Recently, the startup ecosystem, particularly in the agriculture sector, has faced significant challenges, affecting investor perceptions and tightening access to capital across the industry, including for companies that continue to operate transparently and responsibly.

Aruna, like many companies in the current economic landscape, have made the difficult decision to adjust our workforce as part of a strategic restructuring to ensure the company’s long-term sustainability. 

Although there have been organizational adjustments, Aruna remains committed to  transparency and responsible business practices, focusing on increasing productivity by strengthening our operations and exploring strategic opportunities for sustainable business expansion.

Despite these challenges, Aruna’s commitment to empowering coastal communities and maintaining quality in meeting the needs of both domestic and international buyers remains steadfast. As we navigate this fluctuating market and strengthen our position, we continue to innovate within Indonesia’s fisheries sector, adapting to ever-changing conditions and striving to deliver sustainable value.
