In the development of fisheries in Central Sulawesi, there are some things that seem ironic to the potential and the sea area of Central Sulawesi, namely:

· Central Sulawesi has a plant not marine fisheries product processing as a barometer of the potential availability of seafood in the area, so many fishermen catch large scale / small it was rushed out as the Central Sulawesi and North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi. When compared with the North Sulawesi have at least 5 fish-processing companies could be the Central Sulawesi was left in the maximum utilization of marine catches it comes from its own territory. Regional Companies  in Central Sulawesi had tried to manage the fruit cold storage 2 to accommodate the fishermen fishery but then stopped operating due to maintenance costs that are considered high.

· No presence of processing centers of traditional fishery products such as salted fish processing, Pindang, shrimp paste, fish sauce, smoked fish, etc., in the area of Central Sulawesi and there was no sign of the maximum efforts to build communities in managing fisheries. If there is only a response to the abundance of their own society and seafood such as salted fish processing in Pagimana – Banggai district (processed fish from fresh fish does not come from the remaining fish / almost rotten as it did in other regions) suggests that the fishermen had no place to channel fresh fish at reasonable prices so that the fish are dried and processed directly into salted fish .

· Facilities and infrastructure are still very poor fisheries to sustain the extent of such waters Fish Landing Center (PPI), there were only 4 (four) pieces and that too has not functioned optimally, Place of Landing Fish (TPI) of 7 (the fruit) of fruit spread in 9 districts and 1 city. Quality Testing Laboratory of Fisheries (LPPMHP) there is only 1 piece of Fisheries and Marine Prop. In Kota Palu.

The uniqueness of Central Sulawesi region compared with the other areas around the island of Sulawesi is a 3 waters. Ownership and 3 waters belonging to the province of Central Sulawesi is not owned by the other provinces in Sulawesi Island. Those waters, of which consists of Tomini Bay, Tolo Bay and the Strait of Makassar (Celebes Sea). If viewed from the existence of these 3 areas the waters of Central Sulawesi Province is including areas that rely fisheries resources on as an asset of regional income.

The total area of Central Sulawesi waters, including waters ie the three 120,986 km2 or about 11 times the area of waters neighboring province of Gorontalo only some 10,500 km2. According to data from the government of Central Sulawesi, a long coastline of Central Sulawesi, about 4013 km with a number of islands as much as 150 fruits. From the data obtained that the potential for sustainable fisheries in Central Sulawesi waters just exploited reach as much as 54.88% or 45.12% untapped. Potential fisheries include different types of ocean fish such economical large pelagic fish (skipjack and tuna), small pelagic fish (flying, Selar fish, anchovy, tembang fish and mackerel) and non-fish such as monodon shrimp, small crab, other types of shrimp, oysters, squid, cuttlefish and sea cucumbers.

The following fisheries potential for the spread of the three waters:
1) Gulf Tomini have tuna, skipjack tuna, sea cucumbers, shrimp, swordfish, pearl oysters, seaweed and squid;
2) Gulf of Tolo has tuna, skipjack tuna, swordfish, trace fish, lobster, pearl shell and is a popular seaweed culture development;
3) Makassar Strait has tuna, skipjack, swordfish, trace the development of fish and seaweed culture.

If viewed from the spread of districts / cities in Central Sulawesi, then each district has full authority to manage their respective waters. On the basis of water management in Central Sulawesi, divided into 3 zones, namely:
a. Zone I consists of Makassar Strait / Sulawesi Sea (Palu City, Donggala, Toli-Toli District and Buol).
b. Zone II consists of the Gulf of Tomini (Parigimoutong District, Poso District, District Tojouna-una and Banggai).
c. Zone III consists of Tolo Bay (Morowali District, Banggai and Banggai islands).

The division of these zones aims to create interaction and synergy between regions in the conduct of fishery development as a whole by applying the principle of “Code of Conduct for Fisheries Responsibility” which will be implemented in each fishery development policies of each district with a permanent reference to the principle of collective use.

The phenomenon of globalization affect the change for all countries in the world in international trade. The development of communication technology and transportation make the trade competition between countries became more competitive, not least in agriculture & fisheries (agribusiness). All the companies vying for the international market opportunities by getting support from the government of each country.

With today’s technological progress is very positive impact on trade in agricultural & fishery of Indonesia in international markets, this is indicated by the increase in foreign exchange from the agribusiness sector and the emergence and development of large-scale enterprises export by offering a variety of commodities.

Leading commodities such as Indonesia palm oil, rubber, seaweed, chocolate, coffee, copra, cardamom, pepper, nutmeg, cloves, betel nuts, patchouli oil, resin, gambier, copra, cinnamon, fish, ginger, fruits, fresh vegetables, and other commodities are still dominating the international market.

When we examine, some of these commodities are bought by companies overseas as raw materials for industry largely thrown back into the international markets, including Indonesia. We can imagine that if we do it alone without the whole export to foreign countries to produce their own materials or semi-finished so and throw the product to local and international markets with its own trademark which can automatically absorb the larger work and also have added value in itself, but it can not do an optimal because of the limitations of the technology we have today and the competition is getting tighter.
